I found it ironic that in an article by a brilliant linguist (and I mean that genuinely) about how fluidity of language can fool us into perceiving logic that isn't there that I was thrown out of frame by a silly grammatical error that an LLM would never make:

"The more direct inspiration for me was an email from Stuart Russell in September 2020 to Alexander Koller and I about our ACL 2020 paper".

It's a good article, and worth reading. But somehow I also have enough trouble understanding how she would make this error that---in the inverse of the fluidity argument---I start to doubt her the rest of her logic based on one silly irrelevant grammar mistake.
