      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 ;-)

      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)

        I took no offense to the message anyway :-)

        I see the point of the message. I still dont plan to use AI though. English is my 3th language, people who take offense to my spelling errors… Well thats their problem, not mine.

        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.
