There were such attempts in the past... The false positive rates were around 30-80%...
- To be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.
  
  It's also less capable than human moderators so...
  
  Also to be fair to this idea, the quality of human moderators on Reddit is drastically worse than it was several years ago.
  
  When it comes to moderation, I don't really think so tbh. And it's unfair to use it anyways so it doesn't matter
"Reddit using inferior AI to avoid paying moderators"

Fixed the headline.
So much innocent comments will get flag that people won't want to bother with posting
- And hopefully switch to lemmy.
Dang I wish we had movies that thoroughly explored possible devastating outcomes of having artificial intelligence make executive decisions for real people
Seems like AI is going to make it so that vulgarity and naughtiness are the only human generated things left.

Pokes human with slick: "now fight"
