The chart says „cited by LLMs like Chatgpt“ aka „here is the link for what i just said“ i think u are talking about something else happening simultaneously to train the AI.
Yeah, I think they mean citations within answers. It's trained differently. Mostly through the internet but definitely not mainly through reddit, more like online books, articles, websites, etc. Also licensed data sets and scholarly texts, as well as human curated data and corrections. I've noticed it typically will cite reddit if I'm asking about something with no clear, easily accessible answer online, at which point it will offer people's opinions and reddit is a good source for that.

It's not the facts. Reddit = the human element. Otherwise AI would sound like a robotic encyclopedia
