I think you only have a partial picture of the issue. It's not just the spell checkers, the automatic translators have allowed a lot of people who have some idea of English and wrote poorly to now put what they think in their native language into the translator and paste the translated thing to post. In some cases it is noticeable but less and less.
This is a completely different use of spell checkers or more precisely automatic translation tools than what I was talking about. Besides, the forum doesn't allow the use of such software. It's already against the forum rules.
27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

I had to send an email to about 20 people of some importance the other day. I wrote the email, and when I finished it I wasn't entirely convinced. I ran it through GPT Chat 4o saying who it was addressed to and to optimize it for me. The result was very good. He changed a few things for me, but only as many as I needed.
Again, that's not what I had in mind. Also, you spent some time and did the work manually first. Only then did you use AI to correct and improve your content.
Think of my previous post in the following way. Someone writes a post and asks about the Lightning Network and what's the advantage of using it. You see the post, open ChatGPT and ask it "
what is the Bitcoin Lightning Network and what are its advantages?" You then copy the result (partially or fully) and paste it as a reply to the user. That's not OK. It's plagiarism. That doesn't mean there aren't good use cases for ChatGPT, though.
