Abstract
This dataset contains 19,250 anonymized Reddit posts collected in late 2025, focusing on public discourse surrounding Artificial Intelligence. The data was collected using the Reddit API (PRAW) from 28 distinct subreddits (e.g., r/MachineLearning, r/singularity, r/DeepSeek). This dataset supports the findings in the manuscript "The builder-worker paradox: A mixed-methods analysis of affective dissonance in agentic AI discourse on social media."
