It's 2025, we should be able to use LLMs to adapt between communication styles.

If someone I don't know "hello"s me, my LLM should detect that, suppress the notification, and reply automatically - and then resume notifications and defer to me once non-greeting conversation has started.



Regex is enough of a language model to deal with this, no need for LLMs. On a sane operating system you would be able to suppress notifications with a regex match but most consumer operating systems are no longer sane.

Dropbox comment vibes. Please provide the regex you use in your daily communication.


I don't use toast notifications at all (I don't have a phone) but frequently use regex searches on my mailbox to find things.

My work computer is a mac though so as I said, it's insane and I get to just suffer.

    /^[Hh](ello|i|ey)( ${MY_NAME})?[.!]?$/


Lol ok granted. I thought the parent comment was referring to a extremely complex regex capable of parsing whatever a LLM can.


So, basically the classical annoying phone screen but for you coworkers?

What's next - "press 1 for a question about FOO, press 2 for.." and level 1 AI support bots?


Also first mandatory 30 seconds of pre-recorded message on who is processing your personal data.


Back in the day of early IMs, some unofficial ICQ clients had anti-spam measures which let you set your own question and answer. Being edgy teenagers, we set "leet" questions, which filtered out the unwantables automatically.


That kind of agent driven communication is surely not far away. And I predict it will make things much much worse.
