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...
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.
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
> that said i encourage people to both stand by things theyve said in the past
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.
>I encourage people to stand by things theyve said in the past
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.

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.
"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.
The involuntarily celibate (don't say incel, that'll be a slur tomorrow) consider the word "fucking" to be a triggering term used by the sex-privileged /s
