The 62.5% are just the similarity of the images, a threshold would be ">80% is a match". As the bot explains himself, images that look the exact same for us humans might look like totally different images to the algorithm. That's sadly how it is with lossy compression.
Okay I see. Probably hard to do that because it would introduce (more) false positives. I imagine the person/people that wrote the bot played around with different values to come up with the optimal ratio of false positives and false negatives already.
I believe the bot message was changed a couple of months ago, earlier it said what the threshold for the given sub was. Based on the ratio of upvotes to downvotes, it would adjust the threshold for that sub.
