Added to which we already have tools that are great at finding syntax errors. They're called compilers.





Compilers can detect errors in the grammar, but they cannot infer what your desired intent was. Even the best compilers in the diagnostics business (rustc, etc) aren't mind-readers. A LLM isn't perfect, but it's much more capable of figuring out what you wanted to do and what went wrong than a compiler is.

none of that is a syntax issue, though, that's semantics
