Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.
Also the prospect of profit would just pull in the wrong kinds of people.
Tbh moderation is one of those things AI might be able to do pretty well, at least sometime down the line.
