> The only catch is that it "fixes" the tone and makes it professional, which is kinda annoying.
Then why send your text to a slow third-party in the first place? There are craptons of spelling and grammar checkers available which will work offline, be significantly faster, consume less resources, and not change the meaning of your text. We solved this problem decades ago, we don’t need to shove AI in everything.
It’s not like the ChatGPT solution is flawless anyway, there are still basic mistakes in the text:
Grammar checkers are essentially typo checkers and are not context aware to be truly grammar checkers. Context aware grammar checking means the program has to consider each line of text and identify grammar mistakes. As traditional grammar checkers check typos in real time, every mistake you do is flashed in front of you. You have to stop evaluate, fix and continue. This is distracting.
My solution is to get your thoughts immediately out of your head in a big chunk. Check the grammar of that chunk of text in a single button press wait a few seconds and then just paste the text.
The tone shift is good in technical writing, but in forum style communication it kinda dehumanizes the comment. But it is not a major thing.
I use grammarly pro, but I find this solution to be extremely robust as this solution is platform and software agnostic. Like writing in my text editor - LiteXL.
Please feel free to give this method a shot for a week.

Grammar Checker with ChatGPT
Grammar checkers are essentially typo checkers and are not context aware enough to be considered truly accurate grammar checkers. Context aware grammar checking requires the program to analyze each line of text and identify grammar mistakes accordingly. Traditional grammar checkers usually highlight typos in real-time, which means that every mistake made is immediately brought to your attention. Consequently, you are forced to pause, evaluate the error, correct it, and then resume your writing, creating a distracting workflow.
My solution is to encourage you to initially get your thoughts out onto the page without worrying about the grammar. In this approach, you can check the grammar of the entire chunk of text with a single button press, wait a few seconds, and then conveniently paste the corrected text.
The tone shift is acceptable and even beneficial in technical writing; however, in forum-style communication, it can somewhat dehumanize the comment. Nonetheless, this is not considered a major issue.
Although I personally use Grammarly Pro, I find this solution to be highly effective as it does not depend on any specific platform or software. For instance, I can comfortably write in my text editor, LiteXL.

Or you can disable that feature (or the software entirely) and do a full pass at the end. You’re not forced to do live checking.

No, thank you. I have no desire to send what I write to third-parties I don’t trust. Also, your examples were far from compelling. I’d rather not have my words padded with fluff.
