I think the lede is being buried. This is a great and fast InstructGPT. This is absolutely going to be used in spell checks, codemods, and code editors.

Instant edits feature can surgically perform text edits fast without all the extra fluff or unsolicited enhancements.

I copied shadertoys, asked it to rename all variables to be more descriptive and pasted the result to see it still working. I'm impressed.

Spell check? Isn't that a well-solved problem at this point?

No. Spell check frequently still gets things wrong if the word is spelled correctly and the sentence is grammatically correct but the wrong word was used.

It might sound unbelievable but if you write in multiple languages and mix languages in the same message or sentence, often spell check doesn't work properly. Which is only normal.

I regularly send messages in 4 different languages (living in a bilingual city + frequent use of English and lots of Spanish friends). Sometimes even using 3 languages in one sentence.

Whatsapp kind of improved it now in that you can "activate" two languages at the same time. Apart from that I'm not sure there's much else that can be done.

It's not even that much of an edge case. Brussels is the one of the most international cities in the world, street names exist in 2 languages, a lot of slang and expressions get borrowed from other languages.

How does grammarly exist then? Must be some secret sauce in there.
