Wrong tool for the wrong problem is exactly how I feel about ai moderation.
Though Iâm definitely not saying I disapprove of sites using it. Itâs just that I think ai is at best a tool to try to improve the working conditions for human moderators.
Iâm just skeptical because Iâm not sure that humans are good enough at communicating to teach it to anything else.

IMO, This is the real value of ai, at this point anyway.
A friend is using it for curriculum development. She can type in something like, âcreate an outline for a training on air leakage testing in Multifamily buildings,â or something, and it generates an outline that wouldâve taken an experienced person at least an hour to put together, probably. But you still need the experienced person to go through and revise and fix it and apply all the human parts. It saves some time, but canât do the whole job.
Itâs like having a moderately competent assistant, not like having a replacement.
At least the way Iâve seen it being used.

I think that when an AI can detect whether or not @Flossaluzitarin is off-topic or violating community rules then they will have surpassed humans and I will concede
(I donât think they ever are?)

With @Flossaluzitarin, itâs the topic thatâs off of them.

I think theyâd go easy on one of their ancestors, though.

leila1 has been given a timeout for equating disagreement with their opinion with physical assault. Setting aside the obvious issues with looking at the world through that sort of lens, this is a discussion forum full of marvellous mutants with firmly held beliefs, which means that you are almost certainly going to find those who will disagree with your stance as vociferously as you hold it. That is the whole point of a discussion forum. I recommend those not interested in having their opinions challenged not post in places where that is the goal.
And leave out the false equivalences while you are at it.

llamahunter has been given a timeout for malicious use of the flagging system. Donât go flagging every post in a topic just because you are upset your post violated our guidelines and was itself flagged. Aside from the fact that it wastes mod time, itâs also our hope that most posters have matured beyond the âif I canât post then no one else should eitherâ mindset. Especially when you can post, just donât post crap.

Beauty is next in the list to receive a timeout for apparently believing that a discussion forum is a place where they get to post their opinions unchallenged, and switch to attacking the community when they inevitably learn this to be false.

soulcutter has been given a timeout for making a statement, then when asked for clarification, responded to go âgoogle it yourself.â Yes, thatâs a pretty rude way to try to participate in a conversation, or in a community. Weâd have hidden that post. But thatâs not what the timeout is for.
The timeout is for creating 9 replies, leading to an almost 30 post derail defending their right to be a rude ass. Guess what? A conversation of âThis is a factâ âI donât think thatâs a factâ âGo find out yourselfâ does not a useful conversation make. Donât post here if you donât expect to be challenged on what you say. Thatâs how discussions work.

Maybe just put this on a banner at the top? Damn, man, you seem to be having to repeat this with alarming frequency lately.

Right? âReally? Where did you hear that?â in conversation is not an attack.

Itâs very often the prompt for me to, embarrassingly, discover I misheard thatâŚ
