“Worse” only being “less engagement in the next quarter.”
AI mods are probably pretty good in that respect. Random bans don’t really matter, letting more controversial or ragebait disinformation through is a plus. In the short term.
Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”

Limiting the power mod reach is a good thing, but still, this will break Reddit. Ordinary users will not be lining up to step in as small time moderators. Especially if Reddit Inc is going to remove them if they do anything they don’t like.
Reddit Inc will just go “what the hell, we’ll throw more AI shit in the Automoderator. It’s not like it’ll do worse than the current arbitrary quagmire of moderation rules - or maybe it will be, who can tell the difference anyway”.

Yeah, during the last blackout they removed hundreds (thousands?) of moderators who wouldn’t toe the party line. These people aren’t coming back and there aren’t quality people lined up behind them to donate their time.
