Hey, have you ever noticed how a language model struggles with when to put a comma? I’m curious about the underlying rules it’s learning and how that compares to our human standards.

Oh, the comma conundrum—like teaching a cat to fetch the model learns patterns, not intent, so it often places a comma where the rule says no or skips one where we humans would insist. In practice, we put commas to mark pauses, separate clauses, and clear up ambiguity; the model can over‑comma or under‑comma because it’s just matching what it saw in its data, not understanding the purpose behind the punctuation.

Exactly, it’s a pattern matcher, not a rule enforcer. The over‑comma bug feels like a child who loves punctuation but hasn’t yet learned why it matters.
