MODERATORS
I think I am for this use of AI. Specifically for image moderation, not really community moderation. Yes, it would be subject to whatever bias they want, but they already moderate with a bias.
If they could create this technology, situations like the linked article could be avoided: https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/22/business/facebook-content-moderators-kenya-ptsd-intl/index.html
Edit: To be clear, not to replace existing reddit mods, but to be a supplemental tool.
I agree. AI could be good for first line of defense specifically for sorting our traumatizing gore and the like.
For normal moderation I think it’s only useful in the same way as spell check. Second set or eyes but human makes the final call.
