I saw this roll through Twitter the other day: a bot that's as good at detecting toxicity as Google is in 50 lines of code

It came from this thread where there are complaints that the Perspective API may not outperform a random number generator.

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that Google is serious about it, and some big media outlets are likely to use it.
