AI moderating AI.
Like seriously, I still engage in some niche subs from time to time, but literally everything feels like bots talking to bots.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Dead Internet Theory, baby.
TBH, the reply of "Dead internet theory" is starting to feel like a bot pattern matching on "bot talking to bot".
Like we get it.
I prefer the Bread Internet Theory
The bots will soon learn how to bake
Once all the smart creative types left because of their authoritarian practices, it just feels like a hollow shell of its former self. Due to all the bots of course, I expect the others still there to slowly leave as the quality degrades further

the larger subs are mostly AI /most of it. AITA, AITAH, i think boys and girls dinner diaries are AI generated too similar to AITA.
maybe because they start with "AI"?

Using AI to moderate a platform with 90% bots, sure.
its going to be "Ai incest" AI on AI moderating each other, fighting.
It's always sad seeing AI on AI crime.

Can’t be much worse than what they currently have. Automated trash = human trash.
It’s gonna be automated neoliberal LLM to ban and shadow ban anyone that doesn’t agree with the corporate status quo.
It’s already automated by trash AI.
They always always always avoided paid moderators, to their detriment. Now they are giving AI a go to be worse than automod.
they want MOds to play ball, most wont. so thier answer is having AI mods, overriding mods i assume. its essentially turning into FB 2.0.

I bet
Fuck u/spez
Is hardcoded into some sort of ghost ban
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Poster, moderator and consumer now
this has been happening for some time already. bans after saying a wrong word happen immediately within a few seconds
I got hit by a word filter too. Each individual word was SFW but the combination could be interpreted as hateful (even though it wasn't in context). So they have some sort of intent-matching system that is poorly implemented, probably piping it through the cheapest haiku model they can access.

Days without hearing a single thing that has made me want to visit Reddit: however old this account is
So Reddit is going to funnel money into soulless AI moderators that everyone will hate when they already had completely free human moderators? They're a bunch financial geniuses over there.

Now instead of a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation, it will be a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation AND destroy a bit more of the ecosystem.
What’s Reddit? [trollface]
WCGW?
something already did, with the drop in traffic in reddit, due to AI not scraping it as much anymore. reddit is trying to force logins now.
A friend of mine left Reddit recently over this kind of thing after being an avid member for years but...
He joined X? He's got terrible taste.
That's what I'm struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can't think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.
The funniest part to me is he'll share a meme or comic and 90% of the time I actually saw it on Lemmy first, lol. Only exceptions are super niche. Basically if it's viral there, it's viral here.
Something that became very obvious to me when Shorts became so popular - the mega platforms have an endless supply of low quality content they can keep feeding you so long as you keep coming back. The actual good stuff should only last the typical person 30-60 minutes per day, if you spend longer than that, you're mostly looking at lazy slop.
So yeah the good stuff that does well on Reddit/X, also does well here. But there's less content so it's easier to feel like I "ran out", but in a good way. I ran out of low quality time wasting slop.

Can't actually be worse than the human powertripping mods lol.
Reddit is bots. Bots moderating bots, OK, use that electricity baby. We have an old expression for this, though: Garbage In Garbage Out.
They're only now doing this? Feels to me like this must have happened 2 years ago?
This is probably just them openly admitting it.
since last year at the least, when they were us AI to moderate the bans. im guessing they are trying to fully control subs with only AI mods, rather than Human/AI bot hybrid system.
I can already imagine people using prompts in their comments to mess up the LLM moderator

I'll have to create a new Reddit account just to leave again!
OH NO, the fat human mods are going to be unemployed /s
Ooo. I might have to go make a new Reddit account just to fuck with this "Rules Hub".
One side effect of all the pushes to verify ID is that it's more likely a website (such as reddit) would have a real identity. For at least a little while we're living in a world where an AI could flag a post as "suicidal ideation" or something along those lines, and a completely automated system passes the info down the chain to local PD. This increases the likelihood of things like involuntary 72 hour holds, etc. and there aren't any forces currently with any power that are going to stick their neck out and assume the "AI" is wrong.
Of course you could fight it only to find out some unauditable AI set a bit in a database. Reddit has a history with one of the previous admins editing the backend database to suit reddit at least once that we know of.
So, how long till this just deletes the trove of old information reddit still has? I can only see this destroying the last reasons for going there

I wonder if it can tell the difference between someone talking about a transmission, and someone talking about a transvestite?
Because that would definitely be an improvement if it can.
probably will confuse it with transgender, transgenic, transnational,,,etc.
Mod: Anyway guys... Fuck Reddit!
Mod banned....
AIMod: Sorry, no ableism is allowed per rule 235. You said fuck. This is your 3rd time. You're IP banned.
Fuck you spez. What was once suspected to be the cause of all those heavy-handed permabans is now revealed.
