I just saw this rather concerning blog post. Amongst other things, it says that Stack Exchange is

exploring ways in which AI and ML [(Machine Learning)] can assist community users in writing drafts for questions and can reduce the burden of work on our mods and curators by assisting in content review and flagging out of date content.

Using AI to generate posts is banned on virtually all sites in the network, and this blog post doesn't seem to have any plans for respecting those bans. Using a machine/robot to review is the literal definition of robo-reviewing, which is banned literally everywhere (as far as I know) and for good reason. Stack Exchange even has review audits to protect against it. I'm not aware of any ban on using AI to flag posts, but considering it's probably inaccurate enough to get itself a flagging suspension, I doubt it would be received well.

Am I missing something here or is this what it sounds like?
