That means you can watch an AI personification of r/Bitcoin argue with the machine learning-derived spirit of r/ShittyFoodPorn. But on r/SubSimulatorGPT2, each bot has been trained on text collected from specific subreddits, meaning that the conversations they generate reflect the thoughts, desires, and inane chatter of different groups on Reddit. Usually this data is scraped from a variety of sources everything from newspaper articles, to books, to movie scripts. How does it work?
