It's kind of ironic reading a post with such bad grammar written by someone that seems to be so pro-AI

I'm against using AI to write text targeting other humans.
I appreciate the human writing, fwiw
I didn't want to say that out loud, but you are right and it's unfortunately hard to understand some of what he's trying to say
Exactly. And I don't want to encourage him to have the AI write the whole text, just to let it proofread what he wrote. It's a natural language processing tool. Let's use it for that.
You realize he's not a native English speaker, right? His English grammar is better than my Italian, so I don't feel the need to criticize.
And if you had to email someone in Italian, would you really do it with poor grammar? Or would you write it in English and translate it, or use a tool to ensure it's correct?

I'm not telling him to stop writing on his own and instead just let AI write for him, but there's no shame in letting an NLP tool do what it's made for and correct the mistakes you made writing in a language you aren't native to.

There's a difference between criticizing and saying, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say."
