Can we replace human moderators with AI?

[Cadence]

I can imagine a back-up AI mod having use when the in person mods are all planning to be AFK for a while - to give a temporary modding that will be human reviewed, and to possibly head off the late night spam floods that happen once in a while. (I might even pay an extra $1 a month if the team actually said it saved them time and headaches).

I wonder how long it would be before it went rogue and did something like lock out everyone including the mods because some update didn't have the right breaks or backdoor.

Sorry, but no.

First, you are not describing survivorship bias. You are describing the market of users. Both the market that chooses to be here, and the market that Morrus actively and consciously chooses to promote ENWorld to. Or, to put it alternatively, any bias you are claiming is 100% intentional.

Also, none of this claim in any way refutes my claim of value in moderation. If you want to stick to fallacies, your Survivorship Bias is a Red Herring.

Yes of course it is survivorship bias.


Saying that exactly the users are here which Morrus wants is not realistic. Also just because 1 human does want something, does not make this the right or good thing.

I have absolutely no idea what these words are supposed to mean.

Moderation has value. A lot. It is not a waste of time. Nothing that you have said comes close to addressing that fact, much less argue against it.

But this is just survivor bias.


Yes the people who are still hear like the mods. Or at least find them bearable.


But you dont know how many people never made an account because they saw aggressive moderator behaviour, or which left because moderators were to slow (because they need sleep and cant go through 100 reports per hour) etc.


So asking the people who "survived" and not looking at all of the people who did not is just not objective: Survivorship bias - Wikipedia

I'm curious what kind of behavior you think human moderators have "scared away" that an AI Moderator would allow?

As the OP, after being asked to leave me out of the conversation, decided to report me to me, I can’t see this as anything other than trolling. And when you come into my house and try to make me uncomfortable, there is only one possible outcome. Thread closed.

(Ah, I see. The OP was warned the other day for challenging moderation. How tedious.)
