by Kelue, a year agoA year ago, this tool was just a spell and grammar checker. There was no mention of AI on it's home page.
Now it's decided to revamp itself as an "AI tool".
Which means one of two things:
Either it is, genuinely, more of an "AI tool" now than it used to be, in which case it gets an immediate boot from my browser. If it's been an "AI tool" this whole time, training a large language model off my text, I regret not removing it sooner.
Or, they're trying to pick up on the current marketing craze and slap "AI" on their basic spell check and grammar tool which is less insidious than it is annoying and sad.
Either way, it's been real, but nothing that is or claims to be "AI" is allowed on my browser. Seeya.
