Not to get too philosophical but I think one beautiful thing about humans is our ability to hold two contrary viewpoints at the same time. It’s one of the aspects that makes human writing so hard for AI to duplicate well — we are creatures of contradiction and nuance, and machines struggle to get that.
All of that is a roundabout way of explaining my feelings when it comes to Grammarly’s AI writing assistant. I’ve used Grammarly’s spellcheck for years and encourage all my students to do the same. So I was intrigued by its launch of an AI assistant in Fall 2023 and finally got around to testing it out myself.
