There were such attempts in the past… The false positive rates were around 30-80%…

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.

Thats capitalism and reddit.

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

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
- Matomo ( @Matomo@lemmy.ml ) 2•7 months ago
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

So much innocent comments will get flag that people won’t want to bother with posting

Dang I wish we had movies that thoroughly explored possible devastating outcomes of having artificial intelligence make executive decisions for real people
