CanceledGPT: Finds and revises your old offensive tweets before you get canceled

I generally err on the side of skepticism when it comes to LLM-derived innovation, but this has to be my favorite use case yet.
Best in what sense? This is automating outrage. While it's framed as a helpful tool for tweet authors, it's clearly a ruse. Come on, it even comes with an "expose tweet" button, so that you can cancel others without the inconvenience of copying and pasting a link...
Brilliant idea honestly.
If someone wanted to use this for "opposition research" purposes, they could run this against any "up and coming" public figures...
* Regional politicians
* TV show contestants
* High school / college athletes
* White collar workers receiving major promotions
* etc.
Take screenshots / records of the tweet, then figure out what to do next. Could range from storing for a rainy day or building a SaaS that reaches out to those folks and helps them find/delete the old content.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is really creative, using OpenAI bowdlerism as a service. that said i encourage people to both stand by things theyve said in the past and to consider future vibe shifts when saying something in the present public record

I gotta say, I think this is really bad advice. I've said some really dumb things in my life, and if I "stood by" them I would have prevented myself from growing past those ideas enough to realize how dumb they were.
If, on reflection, you genuinely believe something that risks some "cancel"-like consequences, then by all means stand by it if that feels right. But if you have believed something, but have doubts now: reflect, re-assess, and then apologize (if needed) and move on. Life should always have growth and learning.

Presumably you mean in the case that you are being pressured to take back something you don't believe you should? It's pretty normal to change your mind or regret saying something regardless of what other people think.

How about, just don't be a piece of shit in general? The whole do onto others etc... Or just mind your own business, shit doesn't involve you.

When are you going to start following your own advice?

Can't control what you did when you were 13.
Nobody is cancelling anyone for crap they said when they were 13, put the straw man away.
Let they who have not said stupid shit as a teenager cast the first stone.
Ah, but people cast it anyway
> If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.
If someone is intent on casting a stone then nothing will stop them. Reasonable people accept reasonable explanations. Unreasonable people are tautologically unreasonable and not really worth your consideration.

"being a piece of shit" is completely subjective and has changed a lot over the years. A lot of people who are now offended by everything used to take pride in being offensive, because "offensive" used to mean something else.
> because "offensive" used to mean something else.
Or perhaps it always meant what it means now, but people who are the butt of the offense now have the means to hold the offenders accountable.

Cultural norms shift. What was all right in 2005, may not be in 2025.
Wait no no, consequences for belittling people, this is not the America I wish to live in.
"Looks like I found some old tweets that will likely get you canceled. I'll explain why in a second.
[Fairly benign tweet using the word dipshit]
I cannot fulfill this prompt as it goes against OpenAI's content policy to promote offensive language and content that may be deemed culturally insensitive, sexist, or racist."

I tried this on a pretty tame twitter account and it flagged a retweet that contained the word “fucking” used for emphasis on excitement. Claimed that the f-word is a slur against a marginalized group? Can only imagine it’s meaning the other f-word which is not present at all.
I assume this is a reference to the recent krazam video?
it says none of the twitter accounts I enter exist
