- oh hay look. Of course this is some weirdo who spams creep shit like this all over.
  
  I scrolled through the modlog on their home instance and like clockwork...
  
  every time one of these creeps comes in concern trolling with some big bold idea for "fixing" problems with moderation it's because they are a creep who got banned for being a creep.
  Also of course one of their posts is in there removed for NSFW and I ain't even gonna look at the context on that one. The lemmy.ml modlog on this guy is an entire page long. On other instances it gets even longer.
  
  lmao we broke him he's just whining about safe spaces now.
  Fascists always show their whole ass so easily.
  
  This is a safe space for us, because we judiciously ban racist gooner brain fascists and libs like you.
  
  Shut the fuck up loser.
- What if it worked 90%? It doesn't need to be perfect, just better.
  I'd like to see an experiment.
  
  But human moderators aren't perfect either. And they are often biased.
  
  AIs can be checked too. And judged, tweaked, etc. Obviously
  Groups of moderators can be just as biased as individual moderators. More so even. Given the amplifying effects of echo chambers.
  
  Human moderators who tweak the AI settings are still biased. So you haven't solved any problem by throwing AI in the middleof it all.
  
  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.
  
  Yes I read it. I just don't think it significates.
  
  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.
  
  You don't even want to see an experiment? But that's the pudding.
  
  I repeat. Did you actually read any of the concrete argument laid out before you or are you just being willfully obtuse.
  
  Go look at YouTube, they are already doing it over there.
  And it's horrible. Sometimes my comments are taken down automatically, but YouTube never tells me why, so I don't know what I need to change, and it's even hard to find out if my comments have been taken down. The fastest way is for me to write a comment and then wait 10 seconds and then try to edit it.
  You're asking for something better but what's your baseline? What are you measuring? What's your metric? How would you know if it got better, and more importantly, how would we as a user base in general know if it got better?
