Better living through chemistry, until we’re all filed down into featureless automatons.

This feature turned on for me today, and ignoring the problematic 1984-ish implications, it’s also nudging me very hard to change my writing style.

I’m not a perfect writer or close to it, but I’m not bad. Part of my word choice is what makes something written by me distinct from something written by someone else. I’ve accepted and even embraced some of these idiosyncrasies. Hilariously the system seems to have a hardcore vendetta against the word “sophisticated” despite it being a perfectly cromulent word in the context I was using it IMHO.

I’m just ignoring the suggestions (as a google PM would certainly suggest in defense of this feature) but I’m sure many people won’t, and all our writing in docs will start to look and sound the same.
