Storytime:
I was helping a colleague with a tech issue and did a screen share with them.
I see they have grammarly installed on their comp. I think - ok, I get how that can be helpful. You know, that vs which and making sure you use e.g. or i.e. correctly.
Then, I proceed to watch them type. They type out a sentence and get 3 words horribly wrong. Not complicated ones. Words like ‘responsibility’.
Now I realize that’s their work process. They just don’t know how to spell. They type things vaguely correctly, wait for the lil red line to show up, and then right click to the right spelling.

AI is cancer.
I mean I don’t think autocorrect is AI, I’m pretty sure Grammarly’s AI stuff is mostly around like tone and rewriting for you.
It’s got almost the exact same technology behind it, just on a smaller scale.
The American education system is also cancer.
