| 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. |

| Settings->See all settings->General Scroll down to: Grammar suggestions off Spelling suggestions off Writing suggestions off (probably the one you want) |

| ▲ | glerk 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yup, I was just giving them "thumbs down" on every suggestion, but I know I am screaming into the void. But the fact that this feature exists in its current form (opt-out) means that nobody who tested it internally had the balls to just say "this is fundamentally the wrong direction, we should probably not do this". Don't be evil teehee. |

| 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? |

| ▲ | glerk 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I used to care, but I don't anymore. They can read my emails, my code, track what websites I visit and what music I listen to, be my guest. I'd let them read my thoughts directly if we can build technology to do that lol. I realized that ultimately, these corporations are too stupid to do anything of value with all that data, so I don't feel threatened. | |

As far as I know, Google employees (even high-ranking ones) can't randomly start going through people's messages-- that's the privacy that matters. | |
