- Seems like there is definitely a need to, still.
  
  Oh believe me, I wish we lived in a world where people put as half as much thought into their typing skills as they do their Starbucks orders... I still remember typing drills in school... I took that crap seriously.
Granted.

Written language ceases to exist.
- "so you've seen to-.....what, what was that word again I should have wrote it down when that was a thing. Now communications are just burned into our brains. Sorry for the large amount of literally hurtful words"
  
  Listener dies of brain damage
Granted. You remember nothing different about the past but, all other things being equal, autocorrect is about to be invented.

(I think you meant: "I wish there were never a need for autocorrect")
Granted. Nothing happens.

I mean, do you really NEED autocorrect? Sure, your text is full of typos, but do you really NEED to spell things properly? Sure, nobody can understand a word you say, but do you really NEED to communicate?
Granted. ChatGPT now types every word for you with no way for you to input what you want it to say.
