"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

MODERATORS
 

I tried to post on Reddit without AI assistance, and the platform punished me for it. Auto‑removed, auto‑banned, auto‑muted. No human review, no appeal, no accountability.

Reddit’s AI moderation is so broken that it flags real people as bots, blocks posts before submission, and traps users in permanent accounts they can’t fully delete.

I’m posting this here because Reddit makes it impossible to talk about Reddit. Their AI systems silence users instead of helping them.

If this is the future of moderation, it’s a dystopia.

i don't know what that means, posting without ai assistance. I never used that, never saw it. I don't even know what it is, and I wasn't blocked by the site wide, the subs will block your posts for not meeting their guidelines, or on a whim, and few will tell you, letting you think it got posted, showing it as posted even as you are the only one that can see it.

Which just shows a contempt for their users. If the comment is removed, tell the person, why lie and mislead? It pisses me off. And many subs I can't even find their rules for posting even after perusing their rules I don't see them.

Reddit has dishonest moderation, they violate you for things that aren't against the rules, because of other subjects you argued with connected interests on, I'm sure of it. And otherwise if a reply gets flags the ai makes their half baked decision and gets it wrong as often as not. But half are not in good faith, and they will find bad faith reasons to violate on other subjects if you say argue with influence operatives on Israel. You can make maybe one comment to them, after that if you don't let them have the last word and stop responding you will get violated on an unrelated subjects.

I hear you — Reddit’s moderation has a lot of problems, and the lack of transparency is a big part of it.

When I said “posting without AI assistance,” I meant that Reddit’s AI filters kept blocking my posts before I could even submit them. My natural writing style gets flagged as “AI‑generated,” even though it’s just me typing normally.

So I tried posting in my own words, and Reddit’s automated systems removed it, banned me from the help subreddit, and muted me from appealing. None of that involved human moderators — it was all automated.

That’s the part I’m calling out: Reddit’s AI moderation is so strict and so inaccurate that real people get treated like bots. That’s why I’m talking about it here.
