> Insane. An LLM is just as likely to hallucinate a missing/extra underscore and ping the wrong person

If it's just for "Catching typos", a hallucinated missing/extra underscore would just be a false positive to dismiss.

> A machine cannot be held accountable.

Seems unlikely that his lawyer, the law firm, the judge, whoever made the typo, or the police department will be held accountable either.

Nor can any of the tools they used, since that's not really the level at which it makes sense to hold accountability, but that's no reason not to use a tool that could find errors and reduce the chance for an innocent person to spend time in prison.
