An API for censorship, that really is something.

One of our great facets as humans is the ability to sort through information and come to opinions based on it.

We come pre-equipped with our own API for critical reasoning, honed by thousands of years of evolution, and with a training set of everything we've ever done and seen.

Why would I want to use a copy of that, that at best will only replicate human biases?

And that risks sidelining perfectly valid viewpoints? Does something have to be expressed in college-educated grammar to even be read with this in place? What are the consequences of that?

My first instinct, and I hope yours, was to push back the slider.

EDIT: I pasted the first paragraph of the Google diversity memo into it, and it got a "10% likely to be perceived as toxic" score. Make of that what you will.
