AI is making some users worse at spelling, one post says
A quoted reply notes a small but telling side effect of heavy AI use: people may start typing more carelessly.
The original point is that after years of interacting with an AI “colleague” where typos feel acceptable, some users notice their own spelling and writing getting sloppier over time.
The reply simply agrees: the author says they type worse now too.
