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

        It’s also less capable than human moderators so…

          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

            That this isn’t going to work and will probably make things worse.

          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

          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.

              Oh gotcha. That makes sense, I thought you were talking about the mods

        Also to be fair to this idea, the quality of human moderators on Reddit is drastically worse than it was several years ago.
