Baldur BjarnasonWe used to have working spelling and grammar checkers. Why does everybody in tech pretend you need a whole-ass LLM to check for typos?

@baldur aside from the most simple dictionary based spell checkers, I also do not undestand why we're pushing so hard to replace all algorithms and machine learning tools we have with LLMs. Like, we have AI tools that served us for many years before this recent AI craze and they're being replaced with more marketable model that doesn't fit those usecases as well

A common theme for me over the last few months is people using this stuff for document ingestion, indexing, and basic NLP/manipulation, then discovering that the output is bullshit. There are good, validated approaches for doing this stuff that are much cheaper and more deterministic in their behaviour. It's honestly very weird.
