That's called "fuzzy" matching, it's existed for a long, long time. We didn't need "AI" to do that.
No it's not.
That allows for mis typing etc. it doesn't allow context based searching at all. Cat doesn't fuzz with pet. There is no similarity.
Also it is an AI technique itself.
Bullshit, fuzzy matching is a lot older than this AI LLM.
I didn't say LLM. AI has existed since the 50s/60s. Fuzzy matching is an AI technique.
