Well. Not HaikuBot or the Grammar correction bots necessarily, but like,

When you open up Microsoft Word and type in "They ain't got good places to get to no more", for example, and the style wizard suggests "They don't have any place to go to anymore" —?

That's using the same kind of tech to make that suggestion that powers predictive text on mobile keyboards and even powers ZIP compression. It's an algorithm that was released into the public domain in 1989, and has been used to power a lot of tech.

The CQS filter works pretty well; I tested it out on several subreddits with various audience profiles.

At this point, any lack of proper grammar is probably a conscious choice, for the same reasons that 419 scammers use broken English. Style engines can make someone's written work output sound like any arbitrary target, to the point of impersonating that target. Doesn't even need AI.
