We can create a small python service that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to detect if a message is spam or not. Using this service, we can tie it into our Rails application so that any comment created will be evaluated for being spam or not. We explore a few different routes on handling any messages flagged as spam.

In this episode, we look at making records read-only and also creating an override functionality where we can force the record to save. We'll also look at error handling when a record update is made to a read-only record.
