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.
This really happened, just search for “Reddit rule 34” on a search engine.
Almost had me there
Too bad actual encounters with moderation bots aren't nearly as funny (looking at you, YouTube)
You say jobs… the mods aren’t paid.
That’s why it’s in quotations

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.
The AI can be trained however they want, and has no conscience. Mods might actually reach a whistleblowing tipping point.
Down voted by Reddit mods I see
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.
The AI isn't replacing mods. It's working alongside admins.
