A paper on languages that begins with a grammatical error in the first sentence does not inspire confidence:

> LLMs represents a disruptive technology

Hey, at least it's not generated by chatgpt :D

Funny how LLMs now write cleaner than humans in most cases.

  • I imagine there was a similar tipping point in the Industrial Revolution where machines started marking "better" manufactured items than artisans.

    • Interestingly, we then collectively decided that, in many cases, imperfect artisanal things were better than perfect industrially produced things. So maybe people will start intentionally putting mistakes into their texts to prove they're not machines.

      I'm already reluctant to use the em-dash correctly because so many people think only LLMs know how to use it.
