Meta IDEA: AI Spelling check

In a fast paced life, it would be nice to add a spelling check when you are about to post something!

Also… isn’t it already in-build in phones/computers/etc? So that would be unnecessary.

AI-based spell check would be prone to errors.

Spell check is pretty straightforward; you don't want AI running that, just a common program.

I also just think this should be handled client-side, not as part of the site itself, which it already is. Manny browsers include a built-in spell check, plus you can get extensions that check spelling and grammar. Having the site itself run that kind of thing sounds like it would just cause problems; I foresee a site that angers a lot of its users because it is taking control away from the end user.
