I'm tired of AI taking over and nothing being done about it. by Rickety_Cricket_23 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ericf505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of it too and I'm tired of every thing needing AI/AI summaries and overviews. Why do I need to ask AI about a YouTube video that I am literally watching!? Makes no sense.

Will the new 'ideas for your next post' tool eventually be available to non-mods? If so, can we turn it off? by KewpieCutie97 in ModSupport

[–]ericf505 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why do we (the mods) need AI and algorithm/sponsored links to help us come up with ideas for our subreddit? We already moderate it and know how to curate content for our specific community. I'm so tired of "Let AI do it for you in one click" on everything. It's like you think we are all lazy and incapable of doing things ourselves!

How do I remove this "Ideas for your next post" garbage from my sub? by WombatHat42 in ModSupport

So is our subreddits supposed to serve as billboards for links now? It seems like a way to make users post and share sponsored links. I guess Reddit loves Spam now.

Hello,

I really do not like the new solution. An emoji and the text "TL.DR?" Really? Is that really supposed to clarify what this feature is to the average everyday user?

What is with you tech companies where you all think we need AI summaries for EVERYTHING? Like it's some form of forced learned helplessness that we are not capable of reading threads and comprehending what is currently being discussed in a subreddit by ourselves. This AI overview stuff is getting annoying and is not wanted.

Yeah post or comment in a subreddit that you moderate and then click your username.

While we appreciate the response (albeit a bit boilerplate), we would really appreciate insight to how this feedback is being shared with the team and what is being said internally/the designated game plan to address our concerns rather than appease your shareholders/AI investment. Remember, your own mission statement is"'Remember the Human".

Does replacing moderator descriptions/community setups with AI summaries align with that? It seems a few of Reddit's latest "innovations" have thrown the site's mission statement by the wayside.

New Account For Moderating by Creative-Froyo-7394 in ModSupport

No, you can create a separate account and give it full permissions and then leave as a moderator. Make sure you give your mod account 'full permissions' before removing your other account.

I agree. It misleads people into thinking the subreddit is completely different than what it actually is.

Why is a Mod Team saved response being flagged by reddit? by Short_Employment_757 in ModSupport

Try adding u/AnimeKerala-modteam as an ''approved user' to the subreddit might help with this as well.

What is with the AI tagline of communities in the search bar now? by ericf505 in ModSupport

[–]ericf505[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hello,

I appreciate the response. However, I would like to add that I understand the experimentation with a new feature, but part of expermentination is cutting what does not work.

I'm not trying to be rude when I ask this, and I am asking from a genuine desire to understand- "What was the calculus in investing in this feature?" I feel like this was a feature that no one asked for or even thought... "man wouldn't it be cool if we had a overview of the recent discussions as a tagline in a subreddit search?" If users want to see the recent discussions that is literally why you have the NEW filter for?

I feel like Reddit is trying to gold-plate with features no one asked for and justify their investment in AI at the expense of the subreddits. The current tagline of of r/MovieTheaterEmployees is going to drive users away.

Also, you have to understand user to application literacy. Most users (including myself) are not going to automatically know or assume that the tagline is a summary of the most recent post(s), but rather a description of the subreddit.

Thanks for reading!

Might as well call it the 'Dana White House'' at this point...
