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)

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.

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.
