Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I don't use WhatsApp, but this immediately made me think of my dad who doesn't use any punctuation and frequently skips and misspells words. His messages are often very difficult to interpret, through no fault of his own (dyslexia).

Having an LLM do this for me would help both him and me.

He won't feel self conscious when I send a, "What you talkin' about Willis?" message, and I won't have to waste a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

If he’s not communicating in an explicit and clear way the AI can’t help you magically gain context. It will happily make up bullshit that sounds plausible though.
