I've talked about how creepy Office365's "editor" is, and how much I hate it. This video explains it even better, though. I can't believe that we've normalised the thinking that 1997 was some sort of "dark age", and that allowing software to police our language like this is somehow acceptable.

Holy fuck, I don't even like seeing squiggly red lines under misspelled or made-up words. I'll fucking run a spell check when I'm done, you bastard. And now they want to police what I type?

Holy shit, you should see the stuff doctors would say to each other in correspondence behind their more troublesome patients' backs. Used WordPerfect 5.1 back then. I considered my job to be to type exactly what I heard, without censorship. Even when the doctor was joking about sending copies to Dr. Jack Kevorkian (re: big fat hypochondriacs that plagued every doctor in the city, there were two or three who basically did rounds.)

Now I see people panicking about losing their jobs to ChatGPT and similar shit. All I can say is, I got no sympathy when speech to text came for MY job.
