Yup - it's stupid. The catch is that text is yet another example of people hyping generative bots and trying to "sell" the idea as the solution for everything and a bit more; and one of the ways to do that is to make the alternative look worse than it is, for example incorrectly using the other tools at your disposal.

Even then I wouldn't use fuzzy string matching here, it's bound to introduce more false positives than it's worth. Such as Ant Street and Aunt Street matching (Levenshtein distance = 1). In those cases it's simply better to say "dunno".
