it's a terrible idea based on the belief that "AI" can solve anything. "all we need is better AI", as Zuck tried to convince Congress of. It's not a technical problem[1], and any technical solutions are bound to be riddled with trust issues. [1] imo it's a sociological problem. we should be connecting irl and not be online which just leads to isolated people ending up alienated and indoctrinated with hate. instead of only "hunting down" hate speech we need to address the fact that people join such groups in the first place. There are some really hard questions when it comes to dealing with white-power groups: https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/1209985729025204224 https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/120998572902520422... and unless we can find a solution to them people will continue getting clicks for snake-oil solutions such as "better AI" (AI really just stands as an excuse to continue the current revenue model of information extraction and surveillance capitalism)
