I just can't stand how Gmail is putting a red line under every other sentence that I write (telling me that my writing style is a "mistake") and aggressively nudging me to rewrite it to make it sound more like AI.

Whoever thought such a product would be a good idea should be fired.

I get the blue squiggly underline with suggestions on how I can improve what I write. I bet if I open up two drafts it will happily suggest contradictory improvements on it's own suggestions.

I'm starting to develop a squiggly line blindness, so be it if grammar in my email suffers :)

Out of interest - do you trust google reading all your emails? What do you think about privacy?
