    Note that the unfriendly bot is only on Stack Overflow, with no plans to bring it to the rest of the network. That seems to be the direction that the title AI is headed too and probably most company time and money. Commented Jun 2, 2023 at 10:04

    @Laurel Granted, Stack Overflow is the place which benefits the most from curation tools. Still, the first mistake was to create and deploy such a poor model for the unfriendly robot. With that taken better care of, the second mistake would be not expanding this network-wide. Commented Jun 2, 2023 at 10:10
  • you may want to add that "Smoke Detector" also works on a similar way. It user heuristic, regex to detect common words associated to bad posts and so on (see the link for a full picture) to help moderation by providing a filtered list of suspicious posts that then an actual human can analyze.

  • In AI parlance, Smoke Detector could be described as an expert system. While its internal rule base is currently entirely human-generated, many of the updates it receives are routine changes based on simple rules which could trivially be automated. Commented Jun 15, 2023 at 6:13
