Today I learned that wordpress has introduced an AI “assistant” to help people write and I learned this by having the thing king hit me out of nowhere by warning me that “immediately” is a “complex word” and I know it’s just a stupid robot with no context but this thing warning me, a writer, that the science fiction story I’m writing has a “complex word” (so watch out!) and that word is the dirt basic word “immediately” filled me with a moment of incandescent rage the likes of which I’ve never felt before and I’m awake now.
Anyway it’s easy to turn the robot off but this reminds me of the time I got grounded for using the word “transportation” as a teenager and this time there’s not even a person doing it.
