I don't see how this fits into the actual case being discussed here.
The situation currently is that a newbie editor whose article is deleted gets presented with a simple "your article was deleted" message. The proposition is to have an AI flesh that out with a "possibly for the following reasons:" Explanation. How is that worse?
All that stuff about paying less and threatening the worker class is irrelevant. This is Wikipedia, its editors and administrators are all unpaid volunteers.
