What do you think the annual cost of manual moderation would be?
- hellomyguys 5y agoFacebook can afford manual moderation. What do you think the mental health cost of waiting for AI moderation to be good enough in 111 languages that understand the nuances of speech in text/audio/video?
- smeyer 5y agoI'm not saying that the expense of manual moderation would excuse doing a poor job of moderating, but the top comment talked about spending "millions" on trying to automate moderation as if manual moderation wouldn't cost as much. They're certainly spending many millions on both manual and automatic moderation as it currently stands. They've spent tens of millions of dollars just settling with the human moderators for their job-related mental health issues https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/12/21255870/facebook-content-moderator-settlement-scola-ptsd-mental-health https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/12/21255870/facebook-content... .
