Writing and arithmetic are a lot different. Activities involving math are very rarely done away from a phone, and computers are for all intents and purposes 100% reliable at it.

The best mathematician in the world will probably get the same answer I will on a calculator. At most maybe I'll get an irrelevant rounding error.

If there was only one good way to state any idea, no matter the context or intent, it would be different.

I could choose not to use grammarly if I had something to hide, with little trouble. It doesn't do anything most can't do themselves, or anything a local FOSS checker can't do once browsers start integrating them as they probably will someday.

The real danger would be a world in which I can't legally choose not to use it or for some other reason it is no longer a free choice.

Is journalism not part of how we prevent that?
