I could see it function very well as an aid in moderation but not any type of solution like most things with AI is today.
In the case of Lemmy and other defederated social media platforms there's going to be the usual cost hindrance and then the ethical side of it with excessive electricity usage and training data.
Disregarding that, as most know and everyone should know, AIs are not to be considered reliable or accurate ever. They will falsely flag and give false positives to potential comments and posts and images.
However, having an AI aggregate a list of potential bad comments and posts, then have a user manually checking the results, could help with moderation efficiency. Because how many users actually report comments and posts? How many do mods actually miss out on? There's a lot of content and limited time.
