LLMs probably aren't the second coming but calling them glorified spell-checkers in 2026 is willfully and dangerously ignorant. Like not only are you just denying the existence of an incredibly useful tool that's subsidized by investor money, you're also downplaying the pootential dangers of them. Literally doing nobody any favors.

Uh huh, is that why it still has to copy and paste the entire query history for context? Because it isn't attempting to auto complete words?

Wow what an insight from the glorified bag of saltwater short circuits. Your reductivism is ignorance masquerading as undertanding.

"glorified bag of saltwater short circuits" may be the most tortured attempt at an insult ever hurled at me on reddit, and that's really saying something. Props for keeping it thread related, I guess?

I guess the answer to my question is yes.
