Ai training citations
The Data Shift
A recent report shows AI models now cite Reddit more often than Wikipedia or Google when answering technical queries. In June 2025, Reddit accounted for 40 percent of AI training citations, while Wikipedia stood at 22 percent.
Why It Matters
- Community discussions are proving more relevant than encyclopedic entries.
- AI companies value the breadth and recency of Reddit’s conversations.
- Blockchain enthusiasts argue this validates decentralized, user-generated archives over centralized knowledge sources.
The Bigger Picture
The shift highlights how unstructured conversation is shaping structured intelligence. Reddit is becoming a knowledge engine by default.
