Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Reddit will eventually lay-off the unpaid mods with AI since they're a liability (lemmy.ml)

Looking at this site-wide blackout planned (100M+ users affected), it's clear that if reddit could halt the moderators from protesting the would.

If their entire business can be held hostage by a few power mods, then it's in their best interest to reduce risk.

Reddit almost 2 decades worth flagged content for various reasons. I could see a future in which all comments are first checked by a LLM before being posted.

Using AI could handle the bulk of automation and would then allow moderation do be done entirely by reddit in-house or off-shore with a few low-paid workers as is done with meta and bytedance.

Do you happen to know how a HTTPS transaction made by an App counts? I don't mean the apps that are just a fancy browser but for example multiplayer games that communicate with the server or a banking app with a fixed design that just updates the amount of money you have.

I'd rather say the internet becomes more efficient instead of dead. Why manually reload a whole website when you can use a API that only pulls needed Data? With increased automation you'll only transmit what's needed. Imagine you would need to reload a old forum page every few minutes to see if you got an answer instead of waiting for the push notification.

Sure, a lot of requests come from robovacs or so but in general I think a big chunk of the automatic traffic comes as the result of decreasing the amount of traffic that would exist otherwise.
