Perhaps it’s time to switch to the super-duper autocorrect ChatGPT.

I used to be able to type quite fluently, 30 wpm, then damned MS Word came along, and started autocorrecting the few mistakes I would make, so I didn't even notice them, and gradually I made more (autocorrected) mistakes, so my typing got worse. Once I realised what was happening, I turned the cursed thing off. Now I turn autocorrect off in almost everything. Unfortunately, my typing is still pretty bad! It takes longer to get the accuracy back than it takes to lose it. A bit like weight-loss. Why do the bad things happen quickly and the good ones slowly?! :(
