Yeah, an AI telling you your post will get deleted sounds like a great way to suppress specific information. Political ideas the mods/admins don’t like? Pushing back against right-wing hate? Calling out blatant advertising? I can think of lots of ways this will probably be abused to steer conversations into advertiser-friendly topics.
I mean, that’s what moderators do anyway. It all comes down to what the rules of a sub are, and those rules are set and enforced by human moderators. I think it’ll be interesting to see how it goes with a less capricious AI in the loop.
