It would take a considerable while to train an in-house LLM AI for moderation purposes, and even if it was trained honestly it would at least be consistent whereas you can get away with breaking mod rules as long as your meme made them chuckle, etc.

Who cares, AI will become a part of Lemmy too and I'm just done with reddit anyways.

Oh I'm not saying these putative AI mods would be any better than existing Reddit mods. They'd probably be even more arbitrary and capricious and unappealable, and I sure don't expect them to be anywhere near fully-trained. But they'd be owned by Reddit, who would now be ⭐️⭐️⭐️AN AI COMPANY⭐️⭐️⭐️, which is the replacement for "the blockchain" as a thing you vaguely mention your company using if you want rich, dumb investors to wet their pants and throw tons of money at you.

The word you're looking for is "buzzword".

That's the neat part, it doesn't have to be good.

even assuming reddit can ship an "AI moderation bot" that kinda works in the upcoming week (which will be the feat of the year), quality will start going down long before it can moderate at a good enough capacity to work well.
