Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

While AI obviously is not perfect and is flawed in many ways, having AI sift through the torrent of comments and then flag problematic submissions for human review is likely going to be extremely effective with minimal false positives. Though I do say this as a person whose Reddit account is currently banned for 3 days for "inciting violence" because of a knife-based joke.

    I got banned from reddit last week for "threatening violence" basically because my comment contained the word "die." It wasn't a verb.

    Reddit is super aggressive with this shit now. If you say "Don't drink bleach, that would kill you." Their AI bullshit just sees "kill you" and bans you for threats.

    Site is fucking useless, don't even bother at this point. It's mostly robots talking to other robots at this point anyway.

    I have been permanently banned from Reddit for wishing for a natural disease process to occur in a certain individual. If only I were that powerful of a manifestor our world would be a better place.
