As someone who is very optimistic about GPT, you are utterly misunderstanding what content moderation teams deal with if you think GPT can accurately assess a majority of their cases.
The accuracy will not go up significantly if humans are already struggling, and I'm not talking about the mental aspects of the job, I'm talking about being unable to determine if the case is accurately violating TOS or not.
This is going to get even more difficult, for both humans and AI, when content is being generated at alarmingly fast rates by AI. So even with the use of AI to combat AI, there is still going to be a gigantic tidal wave of questionable shit to go through.
We can also reliably GENERATE inappropriate content now, by simply adding a 'nsfw' tag to Stable diffusion, it flips a normal image to an inappropriate one. It doesn't sound very difficult to reverse this.
Also, for these services, you don't need it to be perfect. If even the flagging accuracy goes up significantly, that's a lot fewer human workers to review it.
The AI ecosystem as a whole is also booming massively regarding hardware, datasets, talent, software infrastructure. So that makes development in traditional ML faster.
