This is a minor issue. The big issue comes when we start complaining about code that's not generated by AI. When hand coded stuff becomes buggier than AI stuff.

You're being downvoted but I think I get what you're getting at.

When I was doing my masters a few months ago, I would get my assignments rejected whenever I didn't run them through Grammarly first.

I have nothing against Grammarly, it's a useful too, but I find that it has the tendency to reject things that (as far as I can tell) are still technically correct but don't have the "AI vibe" to it. I suspect that the graders are running things through Grammarly themselves and rejecting anything that it rejects. This is probably going to become increasingly more common as time goes on.

It's hardly the worst thing in the world, but I do think it will lead to the only "accepted" writing being extremely plain and formulaic.

what do you mean your assignments were rejected? like rejected for being AI generated?
No, they weren’t AI generated. They have people judging grammar, and I think they will run it through grammarly to automate it.

I wrote the stuff myself.

yeah yeah I got that I'm just confused what justification your graders gave for rejection. I've never heard of a paper rejected on account of grammar
