I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

I know I ask you to visit the feedback site to report issues. Today, for Friday Feedback, I'm asking folks to go to a specific item and upvote it, if you're interested. Does auto-save and auto-reopen sound interesting? 🙃

CoPilot in VSCode took it upon itself to make changes to my code without confirming with me, and now I'm making it clean up after itself.

Yes, it's as glamorous as it sounds
