Thank you for this post. It was what I needed today. (Now to turn off the goddamn Grammarly extension!)

I've been harping on this in teaching Othello, and other literature (Shakespeare's never been more relevant imho). This essay just nails it. Absolutely nails what I've been thinking.

Not only in the classroom too, but everywhere in the education industry. I just caught an invitation to a seminar on how to use AI to help integrate assessment into teaching (because apparently, assessing learning is something that faculty struggle to understand!!! :0 despite its being, oh, about 85% of our job). How to generate data on student "learning" that doesn't like! AI has the answers. Yeah, I bet it does.

I use Libre Office -- no Clippy, no hints, and I can disable spell-check.
