It is not turned on by default.

Tested in win11 Home with MSA (pin).
(Tested that it is OFF :-) Not interested in syntax/content testing. )

As for AI writing text, this is definitely an acquired taste.
Your English composition teacher would not approve. The problem
is, the AI tends to reuse elements of what you provide, rather
than selecting more concise/precise wording. The AI does not
know what you are thinking. The AI does not play the 20 questions
game. In short, it's not intelligent, consequently the text cannot
acquire the earmarks of intelligence by some miracle or accident.

When I threw in contextually inappropriate material at the
end of some sample text, the AI just sucked it up like honey
and pasted it back down on the page. It does not matter to the
Ai, that the sentence as rewritten, makes no sense.

I'm not expecting anything laudable to come from this.
Until the Ai understands your intention, seeks clarification,
it's never going to improve the message. It can't. It's been
given a load of rubbish, and of necessity, rubbish has to come
out the other end.
