Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been thinking about how ai could make it easier to connect with people whose views we disagree with - idea being, make the expression of the idea more polite and perhaps easier to meet “on the merit” of the idea. So this is an experiment in the vein of those thoughts. To be clear, I’m personally in total agreement with you as to how much merit I think the posts on this site have (very very little). I’ve only ever visited 4chan a handful of times in my life :) but I thought it would be a cool experiment to see- these horrible views, how different would it be to read them if you removed all the profanity, slurs etc.

Thanks again for taking the time to write, I think it’s my first interaction on HN after a lot of lurking
