YEAH the quality of NLP is not nuanced/fine-grained enough to be able to differentiate offensive text...its comprehension is nowhere near as nuanced as a human

YEAH the quality of NLP is not nuanced/fine-grained enough to be able to differentiate offensive text...its comprehension is nowhere near as nuanced as a human brain. One thing that gives me a little hope here is understanding the current state of the way we hire for, support, and value software engineering skills. Knowing how to communicate (ex: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60661-8 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60661-8) is really important to being good at building software. Also, using strong communication and making SMEs (ie in this case, linguists, anthropologists, and other language specialists) an integral part of the development and learning process is really important. I'm not convinced that Google (and other shops trying to solve this problem) have really been leaning into this - getting the right people at the table and setting a standard for great communication during dev. Try that and get back to us?
