Moderation is work. Trolls traumatize. Humans powertrip. All this could be resolved via AI.

Moderation is work. Trolls traumatize. Humans powertrip.

Correct.

All this could be resolved via AI.

Incorrect, for all the same reasons that facial recognition in 'AI' is unethical. All ~~theftboxes~~ adversarial networks are built by humans, most of whom in the 'AI' space come standard-equipped with built in racist biases. You see it all the time in facial recognition algorithms that couldn't tell the difference between a hundred Black people if you ran 'em all side by side. The same thing would happen with AI moderators; they will more likely than not moderate to right-wing white sensibilities, over-target and powertrip on ethnic minorities, and only really contribute to the general 'apartheid-supporter' vibe that most of the western internet has.

tl;dr please stop going to bat for theftboxes and the techbro STEMlords who build them.

What if it worked 90%? It doesn't need to be perfect, just better.

I'd like to see an experiment.

I sure as shit wouldn't. Did you even read any of what frauddogg just said? Genuine question because they explained pretty clearly why it is a terrible and stupid idea.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yes I read it. I just don't think it significates.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

And this is something you should reexamine about yourself then if you don't understand the significance of racism and other bigoted biases in AI.

I am pretty much done arguing with you because you're a creep and a troll.
