Comment on an article about markdown

What's the use of going through the effort of coding semantic content in the age of LLMs? Surely an LLM can accurately identify Gone With the Wind as a title, raison d'être as a loanword, and fabulous as an emphasized word.

Every programming problem I have, when I track it down to it's source, seems to originate with C/C++. It wasn't till a few years ago that I realized how seriously everything I do somehow, some way, has C/C++ as a foundation. Basically every zero-day exploit in my cyber security class is because of something stupid in C/C++. And it goes well beyond security, the more I dive into C++ the more terrible stuff I find. When I found out even Rust needed the clib, it was like seeing an iron-clad fortress only to look closer and see it was being held up by sticks, ducktape, and prayers.
