Using a LLM to fix a spelling mistake is retardedly lazy.

If you do it manually, sure.

If you have an agent watching for code changes and automatically opening PRs for small fixes that don't need a human-in-the-loop except for approving the change, it's the opposite of lazy. It eliminately all those tedious 1 point stories and let's the team focus on higher value work that actually needs a person to think about it.

Given time all small changes will be done this way, and eventually there won't be a person reviewing them.

That scenario doesn't require any explicit "summoning", and if there's a human in the loop approving the change, certainly they can fix the typo themself.

Sounds like a great use of energy and tokens, not overkill at all

In fact I don't even use Ctrl + F anymore and instead just use Claude for all my searches

As much as AI uses a lot of energy, having something that fixes issues in the background is very likely to be a net saving if you consider the number of users who fail to complete a task due to the bug and have to either wait in a broken state or retry later.

It's probably using less energy than a person fixing the issue too. That's a guess though.
