LLMs excel at fixing typos. That's honestly the most useful aspect of them.

Which is also not a real use-case. Like, just check your work, you don't need a tool for that.

Hell I don't even use spell-check because it's just distracting, and it's a fundamentally wrong way to think about language.

You don't want to. Fine. Other people do. Fine.

People are being miseducated about what they can achieve by charlatans looking to make a quick buck before the hype bubble implodes, and the tech is helping cook the planet.

It's not "fine".
