minus-squareMatomo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 months agoI 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

minus-squaresurvivalmachine@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up10·8 months agoAlso to be fair to this idea, the quality of human moderators on Reddit is drastically worse than it was several years ago.
minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·8 months agoWhen it comes to moderation, I don’t really think so tbh. And it’s unfair to use it anyways so it doesn’t matter
minus-squareMatomo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI 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
minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoAfaik 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
