Everyone hates this shit, except the companies pushing it, and people who are so brainwashed that they will happily regurgitate whatever they think makes them sound "up to date" (I've met a few today, actually. People who actually think Grammarly is good, for example)...
It's really quite scary that this has been pushed so hard, and people just lapped it up, because "Ooh, intelligent software!"
Just fucking check my spelling and grammar. Do not tell me how to be "more politically correct" or how to "avoid potential offensive language" you duplicitous cunts...
Every commercial I've seen for Grammarly, their "corrections" make the discourse worse. And those are their commercial-grade best possible corrections cultured to look good in ads.
It's a "tool" for the lazy, the stupid, and the gullible. Best case scenario: this and other tools like it are used as training wheels and abandoned when someone gets his writing chops down.
Seriously, it always seemed like it aimed at at the nonexistent intersection of people who flunked out of high school English, and people who write business copy.
