My professor warned me about letting AI grade my essays, I ignored her
Dr. Chen told me last semester that using ChatGPT to check my grammar would make me lazier at editing. I said she was being paranoid, but after three weeks I stopped proofreading entirely and my grades dropped from Bs to Ds. Has anyone else seen their writing skills slip since relying on these tools?

Took a similar approach after my spelling got embarrassing. Started writing my shorter assignments in a text file with no spellcheck. Nothing fancy, just Notepad with the red squiggly lines turned off. It forces you to actually look at the words instead of letting the computer fix everything. Took about a month before I stopped second-guessing myself on basic words like "definitely.

stopped relying on grammarly cold turkey after i noticed i couldn't spell 'necessary' without it. forced myself to write every draft by hand for a month, no digital tools at all. my first few assignments came back with red marks everywhere but after that my brain started catching mistakes on its own again. took about six weeks but my writing muscle memory came back stronger than before. maybe try going old school with a notebook for a bit, just to reset the habit.
