I don't remember people disclosing that they used a spell check when that became popular.
I think there is a difference between users who use spell-checkers, like Grammarly for example, to correct grammatical and spelling mistakes in posts that they have constructed by themselves, out of their own thoughts and knowledge, and someone who uses AI chatbot to generate posts for them, and all they do is copy and paste it in the forum. The latter is definitely obnoxious and reeks of laziness, but people who use the former, tend to get better in their spelling and grammar overtime.
