Also I just find it a little insulting if someone sends me an AI response. If you can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it.

How can I trust that the sender actually understands the words they want me to read if it is all just AI output?

  You don't. The sender is just pushing responsibility back to you. Probably the best response would be "No." The least anticipated one, creating a chance of actual communication.

I'm dyslexic. I put every comment through the LLM, or other tools. Including this comment. I understand where you're coming from but please believe me when I tell you that if I write comments myself nobody will understand them and it just turns into an argument where people claim I say things that I didn't say. By filtering my comments through an llm, I have reduced this issue significantly.

  There’s a difference between fixing a few incorrect words in a text and having an essay (or email or whatever) written from a few words. I don’t think the parent comment would object w/ your use of LLMs.

    What do you feel your response added to the conversation? To me, it reads as a petty attack on a person who is using assisted technology to engage with the community. Which only reflects negatively on you and makes you a jerk and a bully.

        With communication issues such as being dyslexic and having shite grammar, or even being a different language, to be able to have the conversation between humans, the technology counts as assistive. At least as described. "Fix my shit so others can read it" is different than "gimme a comment to respond counter to the thread"

  That is a fantastic use and would likely benefit asd as well. Could you share your strategies for creating something that is still you and concise but comprehensible to neurotypicals?

  >I'm dyslexic. I put every comment through the LLM, or other tools. Including this comment. What we said here applies to the general population, not such special cases. Of course, if a dyslexic lets it do more than correct typos and grammar/syntax, the "don't send me LLM crap" also applies to them! And even for non-native speakers, I'd prefer to get their actual output, not the LLM version.

  I was going to ask: what does an LLM get you that a regular spell checker does not? Then I recalled all of the comments I've read over the years about "loosing to much money do to a rouge actor." The capability of an LLM proofing correct words and not just correct spelling is genuinely helpful here. Seems like a good fit for a small local model.
