    Only if they’re sloppy.

    The LLMs make mistakes too, though. They’re trained on stuff they skimmed on the net, and they make a lot of “Americanism” mistakes: pluralizing mass nouns like cinnamon and email with an S; ‘thru’ and other lazy abbreviations; spelling words like ‘labour’ without one letter; pay ‘check’(checked;still there). The list goes on.

    Some of those won’t be discernible by an American recipient, but the rest of the world sees it. It sticks out like a “see below list” and a “how it’s like” and we see the rot.

    IBM used to do this. A friend my mine was caught up when her employer was bought-out while she was on maternity leave. She came back to a desk but no work, no role, and no access to computers. She had NOTHING on her list and no way to do it. She wasn’t allowed to go home, but had to sit there.

    She read. She knitted. She counted the hours until she was back home with the family and kids. Finally after about 10 months, she gave in and got another job. And IBM didn’t have to pay severance.
