A single instance of being censored, soft or otherwise, sends more people running from a discussion than a slew of 'toxic' comments. If discussion cannot take place without fear of ai misinterpreting me, It will impeade more than it helps. To me, this whole concept and apporoach by google is toxic. Their guile of couching it as diversifying communication is particularly gag inducing.
