So apparently, if you are having the function "Run the spelling and grammar checker" in MS Office enabled, it doesn't just only check your spelling and grammar, as it should and claims, anymore. It now (maybe already for a while, never noticed it before) also interprets your texts!
Yes, Microsoft (MS) seems to have the impression to not just know how to spell words correctly or let you know, when forgetting to punctuate.
Noooo, they now even pretend to know (better than yourself!) the meaning and the recipients of your writings.
Context -> MS highlighted a sentence in a text of mine, with the following remark: "More concise language would be clearer for your reader."
What the...!?!! 😡🤮
Imagine Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Schiller, von Bingen, Frisch, Eco, Suttner, Sartre, Shakespeare, Beauvoir or Kafka - you get where I am going - having written all their thoughts, literature, philosophies and proses with MS Word and would have thought, "well now that MS is telling me I really should consider this and revise my work".
We all would be standing back in caves right now and trying to make fire!
Okay I admit, maybe those bigger religious scripts could have partly benefited from this. 😉
Beside my last ironic remark, I absolutely do not think this is where our society should be heading towards!
