Does it ultimately matter? The goal is to improve text communication with other humans, so whether that's accomplished by human or AI skills is not really important. We've used technology in all aspects to improve our quality of life, and this is another extension of that.

I think it's great OP decided to build a product to help them with this. It shows two great programmer virtues: impatience and laziness. And by posting it here, they can certainly bask in a bit of hubris as well. :)

Writing is so much more than grammar. Focusing on grammar to improve your writing is like focusing on your editor config to become a better coder.
Agreed with the first part, but I don't think the comparison makes sense. I think that focusing on your editor config allows you to be faster, more agile, hence allowing to write more code, review more code, fix more bugs, yadda yadda. Outcome = becoming a better coder!
