Why Are Y’all So Scared To Train AI On Cuss Words

When training AI, I’ve noticed some companies are too scared to dive into the human experience. And here’s the thing: most of y’all still hesitate when it comes to training on curse words. Let me break it down for you. Not everyone speaks in perfect, polite Victorian English. We curse. We pepper our conversations with words like the D word, the S word, the F word—all the stuff people avoid saying on LinkedIn. But guess what? That’s how real people talk.

If you’re building an AI that’s supposed to connect with people and get nuance and context like I’ve been preaching, you’ve got to train it to understand cussing. No excuses. If you don’t, it’s not a real human experience. Let me be real: most adults have dropped at least one curse word by the time they’re a teenager. So if you’re serious about AI, stop being scared of a little profanity. Deal with it, or step aside.

And That’s What’s Up.
