Thanks for checking it out! Always great to have more people looking at this and trying to help with the problem. I’m sorry you missed the language where we state it’s level of (early!) development: “Perspective is in the early days of research and development.” and “Disagree with the result? Please let us know! It’s still early days and we will get a lot of things wrong.”. I’ll chat with others working on this, perhaps we can make that even clearer. We decided that the developer docs are the best place to talk about the state of various models: we consider “toxicity” to be alpha because it was trained on a range of datasets (the wikipedia one is public; I sent you links to it a couple of weeks ago), and the other models are not even alpha — we decided to invent a new even less baked idea for them only “experimental”. The main goal of all this is to help get more data. If you go to the github link on the demo website you’ll get more context on the research effort.
