Suppose you’re right, then any LLM can still label that as hostile or confrontational. implying that we at least now have the ability to try to filter threads on a simple axis like “arguing” vs “information” vs “anecdote” and in other dimensions much more sophisticated than classic sentiment analysis.

We might struggle to differentiate information vs disinformation, sure, but the above mentioned new super powers are still kind of remarkable, and easily accessible. And yet that “information only please” button is still missing and we are smashing simple up/down votes like cavemen

Actually when you think about even classic sentiment analysis capabilities it really shows how monstrous and insidious algorithmic feeds are.. most platforms just don’t want to surrender any control to users at all, even when we have the technology.
