@SecurityWriter I remember documenting the date and time library for Bixby, Samsung’s unloved voice assistant, and handling natural language for date expressions is wildly difficult—sometimes the library would return up to three possible candidates and the application would have to figure it out from context. I can imagine handing it off to an LLM without sanity checking—or maybe even with sanity checking—would create a fascinatingly unholy mess. :)
