AI to help with suggestions review?

I know many people here have strong feelings on AI.

So do I: I think it’s great for some things, but I never want it to replace people, especially people’s creativity. Writing, painting, creating - those are all beautiful human things that we need to cherish, not let computers do for us.

I do however think there’s ways to use AI to improve things. With that in mind, I want to ask the community to vote on something:

Should we use AI to make it easier to review edit suggestions?

My idea is as follows: AI can look at edit suggestion submissions and automatically flag some things that might need attention, making it easier to keep the quality high for submissions from new users.

This is what a first version of that could look like:

This system would be used to support hunters/country managers/admins, rather than making any judgements on its own. In the future, this could also be used to immediately give a user drafting a suggestion tips on how to make sure their submission meets our quality guidelines.

However, I can fully imagine the SAC community feels like AI shouldn’t be a part of the platform at all. If we use AI I want it to be additive, transparent and solving real problems, but if the community doesn’t want AI at all, that’s also an important signal.

Mostly, I want to find out how people feel:

Should we use AI to make it easier to review edit suggestions?
  • I think using AI in this way could be helpful, if applied thoughtfully
  • Let’s keep SAC free of AI

Hi, I’ve already mentioned this in another post, but I think we need to be very careful about using AI to moderate posts.
As we know, AI (and related search engines such as Google Lens) can ‘hallucinate’. The system is designed to please and will always provide an answer, even if that answer cannot be found quickly online.
In my searches for, say, the correct artist behind a mural, fifty per cent of the results are incorrect. And that’s a significant issue: I’ve previously given the example of a photo I’d taken in Groningen (the Netherlands), where I was told that the photo had been taken in Valencia (Spain) – and even when I pointed out that I’d taken this photo in Groningen myself, the AI stated that it understood I’d made this mistake, but that the photo had in fact been taken in Spain, and that the artist had hung up a Dutch street sign to mislead the viewer.
Use AI and search engines at most to get you on the right track, but always check the sources, so that you can ultimately find out where a work of art comes from via the artist’s Instagram or other reliable sources.
