I assume this too. Basic screening via bad word and bad phrase lists is cheap, but throwing EVERY post at an LLM is the kind of "burn money to get an audience" loss leader that people do when they've got VC money and then panic when it doesn't make them dominate the whole market within 18 months.
Especially if all it's doing is reporting things that would otherwise go unreported. That limits it to
>Things that no user is bothered about
>Things that users are specifically trying to keep hidden
Jannies and users do a good job of detecting and reporting GR1-related discussion even when users try to keep it subtle.
And if an autojanny is flooding the flesh-jannies' queues with things that might be breaking less important rules and that no user is bothered enough to report, that's going to make more work for the janiteam, which means hiring more of us to cope with the output of the LLM janny.
Yes, there are some threads where users see rulebreaking shit, don't report it, and then post "OMG why is janny not removing this, the porn has been up for 5 hours", but it is still cheaper and easier for us to try to convince users to report blatant rulebreaking than it would be for 4chan to implement a full blown AI report queue.
Not to mention, things that aren't being reported and could in theory be removed by stricter moderation and aren't bothering users - that's the kind of "freedom to argue, shitpost, and be merry" that 4chan has as a unique selling point.
