I worry that all individuality will be stripped from our communications. Let people have idiosyncrasies.


I enjoyed Grammarly and I'm sure they enjoyed mapping my prose for training purposes.

When I began to consistently compose 1000+ word passages, all while never triggering a red squiggle, I realized I'd gotten everything I needed from the tool and I uninstalled the addins. (I was a fully paid single user, btw.)


Totally agree. You get so much of personality from honest, unedited emails and messages.

Communication isn’t just information. It’s also how relationships are built. I get an email that was run through a dozen rounds of spell check and AI wizardry and I won’t even know who you really are.
