Extract only, check the site for the rest (Click to reveal)

A team of American scientists are developing the “StupidFilter” – an open-source filter software that will be able to detect “rampant stupidity” of web-content in written English. Similarly to the way spam recognizing software detects suspicious e-mails, the “StupidFilter” will look for pre-fed words or sign combinations that characterize stupidity, assigning particular tokens with different weights based on how often they occur in hand-picked examples of idiotic comments. The developers are using weighted Bayesian analysis along with some rules-based processing, similar to spam detection engines, in order to efficiently distinguish unacceptable messages among the submitted texts.

Basically, some team is developing an algorythm similar to spam detection filters that will detect stupid messages or spelling/phrasing.

If this can get rid of 4chan for me, then I think this could possibly be the best thing ever.

Yeah I meant 4chan, as in 4chan humour and everything related to 4chan other than 4chan itself (obviously, if I didn't like the humour of the website, I wouldn't visit it)

also you're banned for bringing 4chan here.

Kind sir, I think you might have brought it on yourself by making mention of such a woeful site.

I think 4chan should be deleted so its dumb 'humour' doesn't seep out onto other parts of the internet.

So basically if you are using this filter, you cannot access the Internet? Except like 3 sites?

Reminds me of when my school blocked Wikipedia because it was "educational".(No shit, I'm serious)

I don't think it works like that...
From the example it gives in the actual article (If you read it), it would for example give off a warning when posting an idiotic message on a forum.

To the question “Isn't filtering stupidity elitist?” the developers’ reply: “Yes. Yes, it is.

I want to meet these scientists.

If it were able to change the words into more appropriate ones; for example, Gotta to Got to, or Need to.

I could see the point in that but hiding the content just doesn't make sense

I don't think we can survive without the miscelleneous stupid comments or messages. In a way they kinda birhgten my day sometimes, given they are the right kind.
