The fact they thought this was a good idea at all is a problem.

The idea probably came from an intern using ChatGPT

Nope don’t blame the intern. This is some idiot high up at the company and likely approved by all execs.

I don't blame the intern. I blame the person who would make an unconscious decision like this. And I have seen big decisions being put on interns or really inexperienced people. It is cheaper, they are docile and you also kill the morale of all the others around that person making them fear their jobs. This is common practice in toxic corporate environments.

I hope Grammarly is sued out of existence.

I remember making a casual quip last year about how soon they’ll have AI to turn your writing into your favorite author’s style. I figured it was too silly and problematic to actually happen.
