I can see people using Rewrite all the time. In the grim darkness of the AI future, your friends speak only in language that is clean, sanitized, HR-approved, and soulless.

People already use words like 'product', 'content', 'feature', and 'vehicle' in everyday conversation. It makes me shudder every time.

I feel like this is an awful feature for your native language, but fantastically exciting for a second language where you're not quite fluent and need to be able to write coherently.

Young people already seem bothered by how pristine/flawless modern photography looks and seem increasingly obsessed with using film cameras/camcorders to be more authentic or whatever pleasing attribute they find in that media. I think they'll respond with more misspellings and sloppier writing to appear more authentic

  As one of these young people, you're way overestimating the popularity of these trends. There are always some "we gotta go back"-centered communities lingering in the background, but digital vs analogue photography isn't even a close match-up. People who want to get more into photography are far more likely to buy a good digital camera than a film camera.

  That perfectly describes how I feel about all of this. I'm sure that there will be lots of genuinely useful things that come out of this AI explosion, but can't help but be a bit saddened by what we're losing along the way. Of course I can choose not to use all of these tools and choose to spend time with folks of a similar mindset. But in the working world it is going to be increasingly impossible to avoid entirely.

At work, yes. However, it won't be long until the language you speak will become a feature of your ML driven consumer language service. There will likely be products that reflect your style/ identity/ whatever. And once you reach a certain socioeconomic level, you'll speak a highly customized bespoke dialect that reflects your station in life, just like today but much, much weirder…
