Reddit has introduced an AI-powered feature called Reddit Answers to provide information to users based on posts on the platform and reduce dependence on Google searches.
The feature allows users to ask questions, and the AI generates an answer based on posts from the site, providing direct links to the content.
Reddit sees this feature as a way to improve navigation on the site and plans to expand it to more users after the initial testing phase.
The AI tool is built on top of Reddit's existing search tools and utilizes AI models from OpenAI and Google Cloud.
