    People bad at math use calculators. People with bad handwriting prefer to type. Weak people use levers. Slow people rely more on wheels. Its like were a bunch of tool using primates or something.

    ‘researchers surprised people that don’t know how to do a thing cheat to use half baked tools to do the thing for them.’

    Even before the AI fad, services like Grammarly were surprising to me. So, you’re marketing to non-readers, and people who want to sound better in written communication… without learning to write better… Huh. My current employment has very little formal writing as part of it, yet I still think learning how to effectively communicate is absolutely vital for any job, or at least for getting a better one…

    Professional writing was always fake. And this just proves it more.

    I hate how increasingly we will be forced to take patronizing AI slop at face value.

      Are you talking about corporate jargon? Intentionally vague and used by people to try to sound smart. I always ask what someone means when they use it because they could have just used clear and normal language.

      Professional writing was always fake.

      I don’t even know what that means. You mean that professional authors use spell-checkers or something?
