Makes me wonder what reddit’s usage stats will be in late July or early August once things settle into whatever normal they’re going to be. I can’t imagine they can pull good mod tools out of their asses quickly enough to combat the spam that’ll undoubtedly crop up without automod, etc.
I think the question is whether this move will ultimately annoy the regular casual lurkers enough. Will it make an impact on reddit’s stats and reputation or not?
A flood of spam posts hawking cryptocurrency and hot singles in your area might even look on the usage metrics for a while
They’ll probably just plug Automod into OpenAI’s content moderation API or something if too much spam piles up
Oh dear gods, that is the most horrible idea I have heard in my life and yet I somehow fully expect that kind of bullshit.
AI content moderation will be chump change if they get enough takers on this new API pricing. Plus they’re wanting to IPO at a time when every Fortune 500 is jumping on the AI bandwagon in quarterly reports, so I’d be surprised if they don’t already have teams researching this internally.
Would be hilarious if open AI decided to up their API cost 1000x for Reddit
