There's a challenge for you right there. Learn to spell or learn to live with mistakes.

I categorize spelling and grammar corrections as basic fact checking. I like to write how I talk and that means I sometimes leave the bad grammar because it seems more like my voice (whatever that is).

And it would be bad if the article used AI for basic fact checking too.

Not actually worse than for spelling, because both use cases equally allow it to insert bullshit into the text.

If you are blindly accepting changes in your writing or code, you’re doing it wrong (IMHO).

I learned to live with my mistakes :)

I remember the old USENET Days, back them people were noto concerned with spelling, at least in the groups I read.

That's really dumb challenge in my opinion.

Writing code is arguably completely useless and dumb too

Isn't it the point of the post though? Why challenge yourself to learn how to spell if AI can just fix it for you in 2 seconds?

Why learn anything if AI can do it for you?

I think that’s the whole point the article/comments are making.

Many things we used to learn are becoming obsolete by AI.

A analogy (if not the best one)3 People used to be much less sedentary, and in some ways healthier, before automobiles (or working from home).

So setting aside intentional exercise became much more necessary to be less sedentary and healthier.

But it requires discipline and motivation, and many people don’t exercise enough as a result.

Before AI, learning was a necessity to get things done. We had to check our own spelling/grammar before these tools existed. Etc.

Now, learning and using these skills will be simply for the “exercise” of using our brains in ways that were necessary before AI.

Some people will continue to code ok the side “for fun” or “for exercise”, but it will no longer be a means to simply getting something done — that can be done with AI.

Any you certainly won’t be doing for a company whose primary focus is to make money.

Yes. This is the question kids are also asking themselves as the discussion of AI companies solving white collar labor filters down.

A significant portion are deciding that the game is rigged. I don't know if I could look them in the eyes and tell them them that they're wrong.

Should either be

or

> ...spelling and punctuation in this post was corrected with AI.

So it highlights the point.

Spelling and punctuation are two different things, are they not?
