What are the odds that the AI model actually promotes harassment?
By removing any sensible comments and retaining the delusional ones.
And what’s their plan for using it to fight power-tripping mods?
Have it set to IP ban anyone who calls them out. Duh!
If it weren’t for power tripping mods, your favorite subreddits would fall to peaces from being too civil and having people actually follow the rules instead of being arbitrarily banned because their username contains the letter “Q” in it.

We all knew they would use bots for moderation eventually, I didn’t think it would happen this quickly though.
While I’m skeptical AI technology is ready for this, I actually think it’s one of the better changes they’ve proposed. A truly impartial AI moderator can enforce polite discourse instead of flamewars.
Of course I don’t trust Reddit to do it right, but theoretically I dig it.
Yep. Conceptually, it actually sounds like an appropriate application of the technology, but I expect Reddit to faceplant on the actual implementation. I mean honestly, the only way they were able to make a mobile app that people enjoyed using is by basically outlawing 3rd party clients.
