> Hi dying, I'm dad! – mislabeled as NEUTRAL, likely because labelers don’t understand dad jokes<p>In their defense, what could be more True Neutral alignment than dad jokes? Nothing to gain but the quiet enjoyment of making the room groan and roll their eyes.<p>Really though, the issue here is context, but also the complexity of human communication. The sensitivity and tone highly depends on the situation. Clearly the preceding moment is someone stating "I'm dying". But that itself is contextual. Are they literally facing mortality, merely inconvenienced and being hyperbolic, or laughing? If the former, is "Hi Dying, I'm Dad" being glib, to soften the blow of a dire confession, or being highly insensitive and poking fun in a serious moment? Is it in the context of a longer joke, which subverts the meanings yet again?<p>A lot of these comments are worse than useless without context. Reddit really likes improv-banter style humor in comment chains. One comment builds on another builds on another, all referencing in-jokes, and usually slathered in sarcasm.<p>Honestly Reddit comments are probably one of the worst sources to try to build a sentiment model from, from an engineering perspective.
