I took no offense to it ;-) I see the point of the poster. But i also don’t think i’ll be using AI to fix some minor mistakes i make because english isn’t my first language ;-)
AI really has come a very long way hasn’t it. It was not that long ago that you had to train the computer on your own voice and even then accuracy was annoyingly bad. Now it can transcribe speech from just about anyone at much better levels of accuracy.
It’s reasonably good although it has gotten worse lately weirdly. Sometimes it just completely ignores what I say or hilarious sound alikes come from what I’m saying. It is a lot better than it was about 5 years ago though.
I really don’t think there was any malice intended by them. Pretty sure the intent was more along the lines of"Yes, it has gotten better. Here’s a quick demonstration using the current conversation as context." (which reads very similar to what they said)
They could’ve left it at “Yes it’s gotten better” but I suppose it’s similar to the idea of “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Rather than “Ugh your grammar is terrible.” Of course no one should expect perfect grammar on Lemmy or similar platforms.
(Unless I’m just missing a giant ‘whoosh’ moment here - in that case, I’m sorry)
Yes you got it! The person I replied to was talking about those inline grammar checkers you have in word processors, which are pretty limited in value so I wanted to show what you could do with an LLM, and how it can go beyond just correcting but also helping learning.
I did think about adding a sentence to say to imagine writing in some important official context e.g. a letter to a government agency rather than a comment on Lemmy, but decided in the end it would probably be obvious.
this comment sucks. let people type in lowercase. lemmy isn’t fucking academia.

I only capitalize things when my phone autocorrects me or I’m using voice to text like right now
