Would AI be "nicer" if trained on data from before the rise of social media

Generative AI
My thinking goes like this: 1) people used to keep their opinions to themselves much than today 2) social media put our opinions on a hair trigger 3) negative public opinioms turned the collective voice of the human race from 'gemerally respectful' to shrill and hideous. When person from group A complains about group B, everyone in group B assumes everyone in group A hates them, even though that persons opinion may just have been his own. The response to being hated is to hate back. Not-so-positive positive feedback loop. Social media really started taking off with Facebook.
