Hi Lemmy,
I’ve created a bot that I envision helping the Lemmy community, although admittedly it might be a problem that doesn’t need solving. Big social media platforms like Meta have buildings of people moderating content, it can be a very labourous and arduous task to keep internet content safe. I’ve not really seen anything on Lemmy that is offensive, so I think the moderation is pretty good (or you peeps in the community being great). If content was questionable, then this AI bot, LemmyNanny, could be a good start at adding an robot eyes to moderation.

While creating this bot I felt like it was producing some interesting responses. As LemmyNanny ran on my tablet, the console output kept my attention as I wanted to see what the AI was processing next, what it was seeing and what it was thinking. I’m a web dev by trade, so I extended LemmyNanny to have some webhooks to push elsewhere (could be good for logging if actually used as it was envisioned).
But yea, it’s just a few weeks of me musing and hacking together something for the community. Hopefully you find it novel if nothing else, maybe make a drinking game from it 🤷♂️.

I don’t want to discourage the effort you put into trying to build something useful, so I’m trying to say this nicely… you’d probably get more interest if you built a moderation tool that doesn’t involve AI.
Lemmy is probably an unlikely crowd to be looking to for positive reception of an AI nanny bot. Even less so on .ml, and even less so on an open source community.
Yea that’s fair, ai is a tough pill to swallow. The bot is using Lemmy data but no ai generated content goes back to Lemmy (unless I have it set to report, then it submits a report to mods). If my Lemmy instance gains traction in my community I might have it run locally, but can’t have that option if the tooling doesn’t exist
