Um. Wow; it's not that often that something lands me right exactly on the fence where my crotch feels so uncomfortable (also wondering if this post gets moderated by chatGPT because I wrote "crotch").
On the one hand... this is a clever use of an interesting tool to address a real issue.
On the other hand... (hard to nutshell the other hand because it's a long, giant rant) this is a textbook contribution to what I'm calling "the great dumbing down" where ubiquitous use of LLM AI's to moderate human speech has the highly negative systemic effect of making AI seem "smart" only by comparison with the monsterous level of stupidity in a human discourse that is constrained by the boundaries of LLM AI competence.
I guess I'm coming down on the disfavor side of the fence because I think that the great dumbing down is ACTUALLY the biggest threat of AI (as opposed to the science fiction story that recent letter-writers are concerned with) and I also think that the better way forward for social media users to not get their eyeballs stained with garbage is to not look at open sewage pipes (global feeds on public relays in nosterese) and instead evolve a working WOT model where you have interesting follows and you can also easily tap into the content of their follows and their follows follows (out to some user-configurable limit of degrees of Kevin Bacon).
