A literal computer knows english better than 90% of this board. Let that sink in.

I thought the mistake was that the sentence could be understood in two different ways.

ie. noah has work and he's gonna do it on the computer
or
something is wrong with his computer and he needs to work on it.

I'm an ESL THOUGHBEIT.

it could never in a million years be the second one if you actually know english
if you didn't already admit to being an ESL, i would have called you one

This belongs on /lit/ not /g/
>>106167596
Where does it say something is wrong with his computer? Is he using Linux?

After concluding his productivity on the computational device, Noah chose to engage in a meander as part of a brief siesta.

>his work on the computer
Could this not be understood as he's fixing/improving something about his computer?

It could be interpreted in both those ways but it's far more common for it to mean the former and it doesn't qualify as a mistake. If you mean the latter and you want that to be clear you should probably rephrase it.

You thought he was walking while "on the computer"? Anyways that's what the comma is designed to get rid of.

Technically it could but you could also say his work is a paper stack that is literally on his computer or that he was physically on his computer. That's more of a semantic issue than a grammatical one but OP's example is just a style issue.

The explanation is shit, though.
When you have a sentence with two clauses joined with words like "after" , "when", or "because", you can reverse the order of the clauses and place the joinging word at the beginning. You use a comma to seperate the clauses in that event.

The point is that a computer knows English better than most humans can learn in their lifetime. That can extend to any concept describable via language

If 90% of this board don't know there should be a fucking comma there, I don't want to know what else they don't fucking know.

Well, it's a language model. A dictionary book "knows" more word definitions than you. A grammar book has better grammar than you do. A library "knows" more random facts than you.

Not really? Both of these know more about a simplified model of words and grammar, but not about actual words and grammar.

The essence of simplicity, a single comma. A subtle improvement to behold.

Noah decided to take a break and go for a walk after he finished working on the computer.

The sentence should start with the subject. LLMs dress up prose when they should simplify it.
