Sarcasm is ridiculously hard to detect, and this has been the bane of AI for quite some time and will continue to be. The problem is that, even for humans, the tone, facial expressions and other queues are needed for us to detect it, and without those queues it’s even hard for us to detect.

How many times has something you wrote sarcastically taken wrong? Dozens of times for me, even when I think it’s obvious. Tags such as /s can help, but in their absence, it’s really hard.

Multimodal (sound, vision) AI will go a long way to help that, but in a text-only environment, it’s really tough.

“Sarcasm is ridiculously hard to detect”

Proven true every single day here on FR.

Sarcasm is ridiculously hard to detect

What about dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire?
