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.

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.

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.

Thank you for seeing it my way!

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.

> nobody will understand them and it just turns into an argument where people claim I say things that I didn't say

I don’t think that’s dyslexia.

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?
