True! How would it detect sarcasm. For eg. I love what he is doing to Twitter

  In my experience people most often convey sarcasm on social media with emoji and the emoji is typically the most informative feature. I hate my job :) -> probably loves their job. I love my job :( -> probably hates their job. Without emoji sarcasm is often hard to detect even for a human.

    It's exceedingly easy to detect sentiment for any human who cares and follows context, next to impossible to do automatically. "Good job Elon :)" can mean diametrically opposing things depending on author's views and what they wrote up to this moment. Same with "I love my job :)", etc. Employing an AI solution could cause some fun blunders but would likely amplify the amount of burning sarcasm overall.

    This is wrong as often as it's right. I predect that "I hate my job :)" on social media really does mean the speaker hates their job at least 40% of the time. It's sort of a "this is fine"[0] smiley; the smiley is the sarcasm while the statement is literally true. 0. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-is-fine https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-is-fine
