Grammarly will send unhinged messages to all your users if you try to cancel

    I think Grammarly is quite obviously in trouble since LLMs went so mainstream. And while I think AI-powered replacements are a great threat, I reckon an even bigger one is the decline of writing itself.

    If Gmail suggests the whole email (and whatever model it's using has baked in whatever suggestions Grammarly would've had), nobody needs feedback on an email they didn't even write?

      Don’t forget that email won’t actually be read on the receiving side either. The recipient will just ask their LLM to summarize it in a few bullets.

        Yea, I routinely receive giant tomes of meeting minutes littered with inaccuracies, and frankly, I find it unprofessional
