“Useful, but I ignore half its advice”
Used daily for 2+ years
For catching genuine errors it is excellent. For style it wants everything shorter and blander, and if you accept every suggestion your writing loses whatever made it yours. Treat it as a proofreader, not an editor.
Pros
Catches real mistakes reliably. Works in every tool I use.
Cons
Style suggestions homogenise voice. The AI writing is worse than the assistant I already pay for.
