    To be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.

        I agree. What’s your point? I’m not defending the choice to use AI for that purpose. I’m saying AI from years ago can’t be compared to the current AI

      When it comes to moderation, I don’t really think so tbh. And it’s unfair to use it anyways so it doesn’t matter

        I agree it’s not fair, unless there’s some human element to it that checks and corrects the AI’s choices.

        That said, modern AI is pretty capable of recognising something like harassment, I’d say.

        Just to be clear, I’m not defending Reddit for choosing AI over human moderation

          Afaik AI algorithms are already widely used to find and flag violations but human element is still needed in order to make a decision. Fully automated systems should never be there in my opinion

        Why’s it unfair? They were never going to pay people anyways.

        I agree its the wrong decision but unfair is an interesting word to me.
