AI’s impact on communication | The perfect gift for men | Poll tax revival | Czech mate | The end of history
The AI backlash is here (Losing our voice? Fears AI tone-shifting tech could flatten communication, 11 December). Yesterday, I wrote some notes on Microsoft WordPad and felt a sense of freedom as even my poor spelling wasn’t corrected. My WhatsApp messages are becoming pithy two-fingered salutes to the endless suggestions for improvement. Poor grammar is now a welcome sign of a brain and beating heart. I are human. I speak proper.

• Re Joel Snape’s piece (Worried about what to buy the man in your life for Christmas? The perfect gift may be more modest than you think, 11 December), last Christmas my wife gave me a ball of rubber bands and this year I’m buying them for all my friends. No more bulky clothes pegs to seal those opened food packets.
