Until they Twitter gets to that point, its content is memetic toxic waste and shouldn't be used to program AI or actual human I.  If we unfilter Twitter, we would train AI to think like and be like humans.  If that happens, goodbye friendly AI.

Humans are one of the big problems for a 'friendly' AI.  Humans aren't
'friendly' to all other humans. So how can you expect an AI to be
'friendly' to everyone? If an AI stops a human from harming another
human, the first human will view that as a most unfriendly action.
And the definition of 'harm' varies considerably by circumstances.
Is a surgeon harming a human by doing an operation that may or may not
have a better end result? Is a hot flame harming a human when it teaches
the human not to play with fire?
The AI will probably want to redesign humans in his own image.
