Ugh, maybe “no thanks”. This is where AI comes in. So much of a moderators job, Rose says, is just grunt work: fighting spam, reviewing obvious policy violations, litigating pointless fights. How can we remove the janitorial work of moderators and community managers, he says, and convert what they do every day into more of a kind of director of vibes, culture and community than someone that is just sitting there doing the laborious crappy stuff that comes in through the front door? The real trick is to give the communities the tools they actually need to operate The new Digg, Rose says, will include lots of AI-forward ways to sort through and make decisions on content. He also hopes AI can be used for fun. Im just making stuff up here, but theres everything from an AI agent that converts your entire sub-community into Klingon, to another one where you dont allow a certain type of profanity and thats automatically auto-moderated. Users will be able to tap AI models to build stuff right in their communities, too. If we can create more of a dynamic canvas where agents are layered on top to assist, to help, to do wild things, to create games, to do whatever that community wants them to do, then we have something, Rose says.
