Yeah but there were admins spying what you did and banning you. Quite frankly i have much greater trust in AI admins than human admins. Not that some human admins aren't great, but why risk it? Same as self driven cars, as soon as they're ready im ready to never drive again.

You trust a billion dollar company with no morals with your data? Isn't that the whole point we are on this site? Community servers are like lemmy instances.

Sure, and they can have AI moderators in lemmy instances. Whatever problems are concerning about corporate AI admins also apply to corporate human admins.

They already have your data without the AI. Most games have had wide rangeing telemetry sent to the dev for over a decade now. This includes the text chat logs.

Yeah now they have everyones open mic too.

What is stopping AI from showing bias here? The humans tailor the AI, so there will inherently always be that risk without transparency.

Oh sure there's definitely bias in AI, same as selfdriving cars. They make mistakes, but make far fewer than humans.

Sure, but the mistakes aren't the main issue, it's that AI is just a tool that by extention can be abused by the humans in control. You have no idea what rules they give it and what false positives result from it.

My primary concern here is that it's Blizzard, whom love to gargle honey for China and is all for banning players that speak against them, is in charge of this AI.

Blizzard's previously talked about using AI to verify reports of disruptive voice chat, which is now running in most regions, though not globally. The developer says it has seen this technology "correct negative behavior immediately, with many players improving their disruptive behavior after their first warning."

Great, they can auto-ban players like Ng Wai Chung, I guess. For whatever they subjectively deem 'harmful'. There's also the looming idea that a friend can wander in my room, say something dumb, and now I'm closer to a ban because of an unrelated choice I made outside the game.

And we definitely trust Blizard to be good with all the audio data they get to harvest. That won't be abused later, right?

I mean that's a general argument against technology. Yes, more technology means more ruthlessly efficient abuse, but ultimately you think technology is better in the long run or not. Either way it is inevitable. Maybe in the EU they will ban those abuses, in China they won't, and US will find some weird compromise between the two.
