They are going to use Ai to moderate, lol... That will be fun to watch.
They already do on Reddit..
I'm a little half and half on it. A lot of people like myself are fed up with the obsessive way AI is pushed into everything, but I can see it having uses.
For instance, sifting through 20,000 "This user didn't accept my argument evidence" reports to find some that have merit; that can be worthwhile, even if all it does is alert a human to take a look and make a full judgment. Besides, the bar for quality moderators on sites like Reddit is low.
How low are we talking?
Let’s also remember that AI has many different meanings. It depends on what technology they’re using. AI is just literally a type of computer program that can be used for a variety of things.
i wonder if it could be tricked into banning wrong people
It won’t get a chance; I'm not making an account.
Not banning good people, banning wrong people.
