Bot Sentinel

I love this app. It helps with not getting dragged down rabbit holes on twitter by those posting just to be disruptive. If the person posting the tweet has a high Bot Sentinel it does not necessarily mean they are not genuine, but you should definitely take their views with a pinch of salt and investigate further before accepting any information in the tweet as being an honest and true opinion.

Software appeared to be useful, in it's advertised manner of identifying bots and 'troll accounts', but while the software claims to be 'nonpartisan', it appears to be getting an inappropriate amount of inherent bias in the data set from the developer, causing questionable readings.

When I and others tried to ask the developer for more information to see if it was a bug, we were openly laughed at and some of us then blocked, preventing interaction with the developer.

Doesn't work and is maintained by a politically motivated loser.

This is what could have been a useful tool, but the "machine learning model" is basically just a simple ad-hoc algorithm thrown together to count matching phrases without regard to the context and retweets of suspicious accounts without regard to the intent.
That's not machine learning, it's been around since the VIC-20 was THE computer to have. This tool generates too many false positives to be useful.

This tool is NOT about detecting bots.
