    Ok, so, tokenization of the words is why I get that I have seen tech nerds get so excited about a system that allows for being able to come up with synonyms for words that were auto-generated that have a basic ability to sometimes be correct by looking at the words before and after it…

    But it’s such a shitty way to look up synonyms! Using the words on either side doesn’t mean you found a synonym just that you found another word that might work and it still has to use the full horsepower of ridiculously overpowered system.

    Or you could have a lookup table that just reads the frickin word and has alternate synonyms predefined and it was able to run in word 97.

    It’s ridiculous that we think this is better in any meaningful way instead of just wasteful development.
