    I assumed AI would make typos like that if it were trained on the prose of millions of idiots who also make typos like that.

      Reddit / forums are not the sole source of AI training, there’s also huge swaths of books, magazines, academic content, news articles, etc. LLMs are also designed to deal with typos, if 97% of people spell it “United” and 3% spell it “Unites” given that context / surrounding text, it’ll handle it.

      It does. At least Cursor does via Composer. If you talk to it with grammatical errors, he will reply with grammatical errors sometimes.

      It’s hillarious to me

      I think it’s because it tries to match your tone, aka the autocomplete bro autocompletes everything, including mistakes.
