It is truly mind boggling. None of the people implementing these features are dogfooding, that seems clear. And they fired all their QA people... Also. They know how these ML models work, surely they be able to predict/guess that this would happen (well, maybe not the worms-> demons one. WTF)

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

#some combination of stupidity and apathy #a hallmark of modern times I sometimes think #oh and greed don't forget that #though TBH I don't know if/how greed plays into this specific one #I mean sure #maybe they are counting on there not being enough competition #to allow users to go elsewhere #especially when the few others are doing the same shit #but #wouldn't it be even cheaper to not change the checkers at all?#and the users would still be stuck #and TBH I'd think building/training an ML model and integrating it #would cost more than implementing a standard checker from scratch even #and again #you could just leave your existing one in place #and not do anything #just bump the version number anyway #or not even since mostly online and or subscription now
