MODERATORS
I agree it's not fair, unless there's some human element to it that checks and corrects the AI's choices.
That said, modern AI is pretty capable of recognising something like harassment, I'd say.
Just to be clear, I'm not defending Reddit for choosing AI over human moderation
Afaik AI algorithms are already widely used to find and flag violations but human element is still needed in order to make a decision. Fully automated systems should never be there in my opinion
