minus-squareMatomo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down3·11 months agoTo be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down2·11 months agoIt’s also less capable than human moderators so…
minus-squareMatomo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·11 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-squareMatomo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 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
