Great article. This matches my feelings: > Like ChatGPT in 2022 was exciting because it was a general-purpose chat model that could generate all kinds of texts, one of the reasons the tech community is excited about Jev is that it is the ChatGPT moment for classification, where it can cheaply classify all kinds of text inputs without having to fine-tune a custom classifier for each task. We've been comparing strategies for classifying email and Jev is looking promising. I compared some strategies here: https://housecat.com/blog/classifying-email
