I will say one thing about LLMs for feedback. They can't do spell checking. I only noticed this recently. Claude, amazing model, it can't spot spelling mistakes. If I ask it for spell checking, it hallucinates words that I didn't misspell, and it misses the words that I did. And it's because of the tokenization, presumably. But that was a bit of a surprise. It's like, it's a language model.
