Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.

Overall, I can see liking this. But mostly I think the summaries should be public.

But in general the problem with moderators is they can be fairly partisan. I don’t know if it’s still the case after the whole API … thing, but certain groups of moderators had access to bots that did what is essentially equivalent to the sort of thing.

A problem I generally had with reddit towards the ends is that a lot of things reported to admin were being evaluated by non-American English speakers who don’t have the context to understand sharp turns of phrase. Americans would understand the words meaning the opposite of what they literally mean, but you can’t expect overseas contractors to understand these nuances. So I would be concerned that AI is similar except for the fact that it’s not a change from the status quo.

Would be nice if we also had AI summaries of moderator behavior and if these were visible to everyone. I wouldn’t be surprised if admin have (or soon will have) access to AI summaries of moderator activity and behavior.
