I recently discovered that some popular federated instances have been using LLM-assisted moderation tooling First of all, I agree with your main point, that this* is problematic, wrong even (and should not happen). But I need to ask: how did you find out? Is this something that could be traced objectively, or did some people report/admit it? Are they uploading stuff to corporate LLMs, i.e. LLMs that do not run themselves? (I think you answered this already when you wrote OpenAI, but I want this spelled out) Are only admins or also mods doing this? That would make a big difference. I’m also a little unclear about the process: are they uploading (copy-pasting) the actual comments, or links to them? To what extent can all this be automated on Lemmy/Piefed etc.? I.e., are there admin tools that just spit out all of a user’s content? * again: specific political profiling outsourced to LLMs. OTOH we already have instances that do this manually. But imo the process is deplorable even if they use LLMs with different prompts for modding.
