I wonder if their plan was to use chatgpt or some AI to pick up the slack with moderation but set things into motion before realizing that AI isn't quite there yet and would need human eyes to verify actions otherwise the AI would have banned everyone or not enough people.

I don't know which scenario is more amusing, the one where they had a plan that failed or the one where they just thought everything would work out fine and what we saw was the plan.
