But this is about way more than just making moderators more efficient. Right now I can see you, and I can gauge how what I'm saying is landing with you. You don't have that opportunity online. Imagine if machine learning could give commenters, as they're typing, real-time feedback about how their words might land, just like facial expressions do in a face-to-face conversation.

That means that we can have dialogue between people with different politics, different worldviews, different values. And we can reinvigorate the spaces online that most of us have given up on.
