In my opinion AI should cover the worst content; ones that harm people just by looking at it. Anything up to debate is a big no; however there exists many content where even seeing the content can be disturbing to anyone seeing it.

MODERATORS
Yeah, but who decides what content is disturbing? I mean there is CSAM, but the fact that it even exists shows that not everyone is disturbed by it.
You’ll never be able to get a definition that covers your question. The world isn’t black and white. It’s gray and because of that a line has to be drawn and yes it would always be considered be arbitrary for some. But a line must be drawn none the less.

I couldn't agree more. Human moderators, especially unpaid ones simply aren't the way to go and Lemmy is a perfect example of this. Blocking users and communities and using content filters works to some extent but is extemely blunt tool with a ton of collateral damage. I'd much rather tell an AI moderator what I'm interested in seeing and what not and have it analyze the content to see what needs to be filtered out.
Take this thread for example:
Cool. I think he should piss on the 3rd rail.
This pukebag is just as bad as Steve. Fuck both of them.
What a cunt.
How else is anyone going to filter out hateful content like this with zero value without an intelligent moderation system? People are coming up with new insults faster than I can keep adding them to the filter list. AI could easily filter out 95% of toxic content like this.
Look, Reddit bad, AI bad. Engaging with anything more that the most surface level reactions is hard so why bother?
At a recent conference in Qatar, he said AI could even "unlock" a system where people use "sliders" to "choose their level of tolerance" about certain topics on social media.
That combined with a level of human review for people who feel they have been unfairly auto-moderated seems entirely reasonable to me.
Translation: An AI would allow me to maybe have an echo chamber since human moderators won't work for me for free.
