I really detest the idea that there is a correct way to speak. Speaking is communicating, it is the fundamental way you develop relationships with others. Public speaking is no different, just more people. Is there a correct way to be friends? No. And there is not a correct way to publicly speak either.
You may detest it as much as you wish, turns out however that it is not going to change the fact that there are better ways to speak/communicate.

There are, however, plenty of incorrect ways to be friends... Improving communication skills is about avoiding massive pitfalls while allowing your unique voice to develop through practice.

Speaking (and communicating) is a skill that can be improved.

There are some ways that are more correct ways to speak. Especially if your intention is to convey meaning within a shared language.

#78This looks really exciting but I want to warn that this fulfills the following criteria: - feels to good to be free - it targets a problem that we all sense and fear when we interact with other people - the privacy and security policy is legally invalid in California and the EU (missing both is quite weird as they’re very well known privacy standards) - the email address listed inside the privacy and security policy…

No they aren't. If you have a specific goal, you can improve the way you acted towards that goal, though.
IMO communication is a skill involving verbal and non-verbal communication. If a robot suggests that you maintain eye contact while communicating, it might help someone be aware of that and improve. There's usually always important guidelines to follow that you're free to break at your own risk.

When I was in high school there was an amazing teacher that said um while giving written speeches. I started counting instead of listening to the actual speech.

Would it have been better if they didn't create this tool because communication isn't a skill and because there isn't one objectively correct way to say good or bad

#80I cannot over emphasize how much I don’t want a computer teaching me to talk. The only reason this is a problem is that we’re relying on computers for communication too much in the first place.

So the issue is less the service and more the fact that we live in a world with a lot of texting applications and emails being sent?
I would understand if you're claiming that it would make us speak more "robotic"
