How to switch off a feature when iOS 17 underlines autocorrected words?

I have just updated to iOS 17 and now i regret it. I can't find a way to switch off the new distracting setting. Now with autocorrect working it underlines each word with blue or grey color (depending on the app). Instead of typing fluently I now constantly get distracted to those underlined words. Does anyone know how is it possible to disable this while keeping autocorrect option?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

That's not exactly what i'm trying to fix. Predictive is turned off for me. It's just that after it corrects the word it underlines it with a blue line, showing that it was corrected. Which forces me to instinctively get back to that word. And since almost each word i type is corrected (cause my fingers aren't that precise), literally every word is getting that blue line under it, distracting me from typing.
