    a calcification was issued... Now here's an area where one of those newfangled large language models actually could do some good: create a spelling checker which doesn't gleefully replace somewhat misspelled or 'mis-swiped' words with correctly spelled but contextually clearly nonsensical ones.

Sigh, for the umpteenth time this week. The very next sentence after the one you quoted: By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old "these Terms" are the terms you need to agree to in order to download the editor. You can't agree to them if you're under 18.

    See my response to your other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47259138 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47259138 I did not quote "Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service" because I, like you, don't find it to be a problem. I don't know why you're saying it back to me. I quoted a different sentence, namely "By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old", because I think that sentence is a problem. I would appreciate if you would discuss the part of the ToS which I referenced instead of an irrelevant part which I haven't brought up.
