LLMs seem overpowered for the use the author suggests, finding and marking problems in prose. Actual human-written programs exist for that purpose, things you don't have to bludgeon into not praising you or semantically ablating your work. Start with langtool or the like and start adding others. Even art-bollocks mode for Emacs can be useful.

I'd love to know. I'll buy it!
