OT but tangentially connected. I'd sent something I was working on to AI to look for grammar issues, etc; in the text I'd mentioned a space that was decorated with several paintings, and gave a very cursory description. Nothing detailed, mind you, just the impressions that someone seeing them for the first time would register. The AI instantly knew I was featuring Jack Vettriano prints!
LLMs are very smart in some ways. Grammar has never been my strong point as we only really had a cursory introduction to it @ school (I went to a standard Comprehensive so not that much was expected of us). When I was writing my essays - and later my dissertations - my grammar 'checking' was a combination of whatever Microsoft Word said (or hinted at) [apparently I naturally wrote in 'passive voice' just as I had been taught to all my life] and reading my words out loud to see if they 'flowed' well enough.
