Excellent breakdown. The title seems misleading since we don't even know it's AI. I very much dislike when folks state speculation as fact.

> Amazon created an AI agent to look at every account and, instead of flagging them for any potential violations, had them canceled outright.

We don’t even know whether it”s related to webcomics either. All we know is that OP’s account got banned a while ago, and now also another person that is into webcomics, and that’s literally about all the facts we have. The rest of the article is pure speculation.

“What cannot be known hollows the mind. Fill it not with guesswork.”
I can say I have seen a lot of cases where someone who was flagrantly guilty of abuse complained loudly that their account at some big tech company was unfairly canceled. I cannot say that's what is going on here, and I can also say I've seen plenty of cases where it was unfair and there was no due process.
