It costs... Well, zero dollars is made by other Optimus robots.
That's so funny.
Are you serious?
It could happen.
I think Grammarly took the wrong route with this product.
I think instead of like people, like obviously Nilay, great writer, people love his writing, but I think they should have gone with people who are known for being unbelievably opinionated writers and just force like, I want to be writing an email
to like Marquez about our health insurance plan or something like that.
And then Grammarly's like, and then a little AI Slavar Zizek, the Slovenian philosopher pops up and is like, but what does this email have to do with the struggle of the self?
And I'm like- I'd like that.
Yes, distract me.
Susan Sontag comes up and is like, where are the mentions of gender?
Hector Berlioz pops up and is like, Ellis, you mentioned nothing about Beethoven's terrible use of the French horn.
Because the data that Nilay's brain was trained on are things like his childhood, like things that you can't do that, bro.
To the one person that has read Hector Berlioz's treatise on orchestration other than me.
I know.
It's this composer who wrote a book about how to write for all the instruments a long time ago, and he was really angry, and there's this whole passage in the French horn section where instead of talking about how to write for French horn, he just goes into this giant beef with Beethoven, and he's like, that guy, Beethoven sucked at French horn.
He was a coward on the French horn.
It's very fun to read.
Shut up!
Oh, sorry.
