    What do you think grammarly is dude? Glorified spell and auto check, which people already utilize everyday. But of course new tools are looked down upon, the hypocrisy of people is amazing to see. It comes in cycles, people hated spell check, got used to it and now it’s prominent in every life, autocorrect, same thing is happening.

    And now the same is happening again. If they want to claim no ai, no spellcheck, no auto correct, and no grammarly for emails. Everyone already uses “AI” everyday. But theirs is acceptable… okay…

      Right but to detect close-enough spellings and word orders, using a curated index or catalogue of accepted examples, is one thing.

      To train layers of algorithms in layers of machines on massive datasets to come up with close enoughs would be that but many times over the costs.

      You would be a moron to use llms for spellchecking.

      To clarify to you, not all programs are equal. Its not all different methods to do the same thing at the same cost.
