StupidFilter - Detect stupid text • Hacker News Board

I can't get the thing to detect any stupidity whatsoever. I tried: -dude that was pretty funny lol -dude thats a funny one! lol -ur a ghey lord! All passed as not being likely to be stupid.

Anyone up for StupidGolf? :-) My entry: "haha... lol" (11 chars)

From the FAQ:

  Do you really expect to be able to detect and 
  filter anything that's conceivably stupid?

    No, of course not. You'd need real AI for that, 
    and beyond a certain point it's simply subjective; 
    after all, a sufficiently advanced AI would probably 
    filter out the whole of human discourse, which 
    isn't the idea.

I have to admit that I laughed pretty hard when I read that...

I tried single letters but didn't think of that.
