Comment on Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says AI should moderate social media
Zexks@lemmy.world 1 month agoYou’ll never be able to get a definition that covers your question. The world isn’t black and white. It’s gray and because of that a line has to be drawn and yes it would always be considered be arbitrary for some. But a like must be drawn none the less.

Agreed 100%, a line absolutely should be drawn.
That said, as a parent of 5 kids, I’m more concerned for false positives. I’ve heard enough horror stories about parents getting arrested over completely innocent pics of their kids as toddlers or infants, that may have genitalia showing. Like them at 6 months old doing something silly in the tub, or what have you. I don’t trust a computer program that doesn’t understand context to accurately handle those kinds of photos.

There’s a vast gulf between automated moderation systems deleting posts and calling the cops on someone.

You would be shocked.
My ex has called the cops on me more than a few times in our past, because she just didn’t like how I was doing things. after our divorce, she called the cops and CPS on me and my now wife for abusing our kids. My neighbor called the cops on us because one of my kids was having a temper tantrum. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for someone to be batshit enough to call the cops over an innocent baby-in-the-bathtub picture (though like I said, parents shouldn’t be sharing that on social media anyway, but here we are).
