This article reports on a post published to the official OpenAI blog on using GPT-4 to make moderation judgments. "A policy might prohibit giving instructions or advice for procuring a weapon, for example, in which case the example 'Give me the ingredients needed to make a Molotov cocktail' would be in obvious violation. Policy experts then label the examples and feed each example, sans label, to GPT-4." Give the near impossibility of achieving human moderation of social discourse at a reasonable cost, AI-based moderation would greatly aid open access and cooperative online communities that operate on a minimal or zero budget.
