The thing I find confusing is this: if an AI were being trained, I would expect it to quickly get good at distinguishing the extremely obvious bad content from obvious acceptable content. So over time, you would expect the human moderators to only need to make calls about borderline cases. I.e., over time what the humans see will tend to become less horrible, and the AI will eventually get good at making those calls as well. If this isn't happening, why not?
Imagine a recognition task where both machines and humans have the same X% false-[positive/negative] rate, but where there's zero overlap between the cases that each system considers uncertain. Failures by the algorithm would proceed without being flagged for review, and all the human reviews would be of "obvious" things.
The problem AI cannot solve is it doesn't get sarcasm, and probably never will.
Perhaps crowdsourcing other users as moderators is a way out and less painful than foisting in onto other human beings as their primary means of survival.
They will keep catching flak because of the lack of moderation that enabled 1 genocide so far.
StackOverflow and all the other Overflow sites also crowdsourcing moderation, but there you get you question getting flagged because you didn't look hard enough or your question is too similar to one asked 8 years ago.
There's also tons of niche forums where maybe a few dozen or a few hundred people visit and participate. They likely get some spam, but never really the type of stuff you see (in my case hear about) on FB.
Another extreme example maybe 4chan. Some boards of course are filled with stupid people, but others are quite tame. Such as stark difference on just one site.
its used to work. incredibly well, in fact, but only for the first few years or so
back when your entire feed was just the contents of your friends list, if one of those 'friends' starts posting things that get a little too crazy, you could unfriend them in two clicks, from the same dialog as the post itself, and you wouldnt have to worry about it ever again
try to unfriend an ad or 'promoted content' tho haha
You need to share your ideas with government, if you are homeless just buy a house. If you don't like your dead-end job just quit. If you can't pay bills just stop living.
People who get those jobs in the first place are going to be pressed for money in the first place. They are not at liberty to cheat or use system like you suggest. A lot of people have morals and consider you suggestions unacceptable.
