    Reddit mods are one of the few “jobs” that I’m perfectly fine with AI replacing. There’s absolutely no way AI could do a worse job than what’s already being done.

      AI: you’ve been banned for violating rule 1

      User: but i did not violating rule 1, i violating rule 34

      AI: my mistake. You’ve been banned for violating rule 34

      User: but there’s no rule 34

      AI: my mistake. You’ve been unbanned.

      I see that naive techno-optimism is alive and well in this day and age.

        Reddit mods are some of the absolute worst people at their role of literally any role in existence. I’ll die on that hill and take all of your downvotes. They destroyed Reddit way before Spez made it official.

          Did you step up to mod any communities?

          Did you create any new communities for the things you were interested in?

          Also, what data are you going to train the AI on? Becasue if they use the old mods as training data…

          And finally, most of the subs I visited had mods that I never had problems with. So maybe it is the subs you were visiting, or maybe, just maybe, you were the problem.

      This doesn’t replace mods. It’s just another way for reddit admins to find ways to auto perma-ban users.

        My account, Melkath, got banned at least twice for horseshit reasons.

        Mostly me being outspokenly against naziism.

        It’s still live tho. Because I mostly use kbin now.

            Yup. Don’t expect a response.

            Only reason I got a response/unban was because the mass exodus was happening.

            Nothing for 3 months, then traffic dropped and a day later I was reinstated.

      The AI can be trained however they want, and has no conscience. Mods might actually reach a whistleblowing tipping point.

        Nah, just the few naive folks who think a handful of good mods makes up for the horde of insanely toxic ones. The percentage of crap Reddit mods is so high the role shouldn’t even exist. Perfect use of AI.
