Dumb nit, but why not put your own press release through your model to prevent basic things like missing quote marks? Reminds me of that time an OAI released wildly inaccurate copy/pasted bar charts.

It does seem to raise fair questions about either the utility of these tools, or adoption inertia. If not even OpenAI feels compelled to integrate this kind of model-check into their pipeline, what's that say about the business world at-large? Is it that it's too onerous to set up, is it that it's too hard to get only true-positive corrections, is it that it's too low value for the effort?

Their model doesn't handle punctuation, quote marks, and similar things very well at all.

Humans are now expected to parse sloppy typing without complaining about it, just like LLMs do. Slop is the new normal.
