My point was more that there is a subset of technical people who delight in the “they’re not perfect, because / therefore they are just glorified spellcheck” fallacy. Search this thread for “spell” or “parrot” to see examples.

So I don’t think it’s the same people, because the tone is not “they’re amazing but have farther to go”; there is a substantial group who at least claims to believe there’s no qualitative difference between Opus 4.1 and the spellcheck in Word ‘95.

Not trying to be argumentative here; I appreciate the conversation and you’ve helped me sharpen my point, which I appreciate.
