Are popular toxicity models simply profanity detectors?
Something alluded to here is that many of the Languages models use US English. Many terms that are offensive in the US, may not be offensive at all in the UK. e.g. "Fag" in the UK is frequently used to refer to cigarettes. "Can I bum a fag?" literally means "Can I have one of your cigarettes please?".<p>Similarly something that might be a cat call such as "Get your baps out" (shows us your breasts), could also be used by a baker since a "bap" is a type of bread roll in a slightly cheeky advert as most people are aware of the pun.<p>How are you going to train an AI to know the context that the person might be talking about bread instead of a woman?<p>Has anyone realised yet that almost all of this folly? I suppose not when there is money to be made.
