Moderating on a subreddit where people are definitely trying to spam their way in with LLMs, that's becoming on of my big tells. At least the way they are tuned now they are really prone to wordy and pointless intros and outros. (At least in my personal opinion, while intros and outros are fine they should do something more than just summarise again, especially the outro, even if it's just trying to end on a joke.) I recognise there's no reason to believe that is fundamental to the tech, but right now it's a tell. (Though "subtle errors of the type humans don't make" is both a stronger signal and more relevant one.)
- callalex 3y agoWhat motivates you to continue volunteering your time to moderate a Reddit forum when the host has demonstrated a clear and repeated lack of respect or care for the time and concerns of moderation staff?
- jerf 3y agoFirst, it's my decision, not yours. Secondly, I was helped by a lot of people when I was a young developer and this is how I give back. Since it's a sum of maybe 10 minutes a day, which I was largely already using for this anyhow, it's nearly free. If it ever became a job I'd stop.
- duxup 3y agoI can’t speak for the other user, but I suspect most moderators care about the community and that’s where they are.
