Today, while touching up and moving files and paragraphs on Evernote the relevant text went completely bonkers, combining words and phrases in crazy unreadable ways.  I even tried restarting my laptop twice hoping to self-correct. I finally just closed up shop and went home.  This wasn't the first time, or was it the only platform this has happened with.

I am too deliberate a person (read that as old) to do anything on the fly. This has been a personal trait ever since my collage/college days (sic), and even before MacApples and PC's came to be. But I digress. Sometime in the recent past l have written short pieces reviewing Grammarly and Evernote, each well before they became tainted by AI. I rated them both high- practical and useful. 

I believe the current editions of these apps will evolve as root programs of 'HAL-2000 (the computer that tragically malfunctioned in '2001 A Space Oddity'). I certainly would not praise either as glowingly as in my original reviews. Were I to, and I may yet, return to evaluating such things I would rate them both just adequate and predisposed to hindering and interfering with one's work. 

But, to be honest, I still use them in place of Word or other formal software products, but only reluctantly, and mostly out of habit.  I now lack the time, patience, and incentive to learn new things that will be updated or outdated or no longer be free before I master them.  Of course I lacked the same traits when computers evolved from video games.
