Why even use an LLM? A classifier is perfectly suited for this kind of thing, and they aren't new. As far as I can tell, this is what is often used in the real world, and is incredibly cheap compared to an LLM, so GitHub/$OTHER_PLATFORM could totally run it on everything posted. They could even use a classifier as a first filtering step, then run a smarter model on flagged comments. (Then let a human double-check, right? Right?)
