“Nothing says “we value our customers” like carpet-bombing them with panic emails after they decide not to renew. If this is how Grammarly handles departing accounts, documenting everything and moving to alternatives seems wise.”
“Many universities sync their official Grammarly for Education licenses directly with Canvas or Blackboard. So make sure you are using the link to register your school email and not your personal acct.”
“Technically, even if you’ve done all the writing, if you use a tool, you’re supposed to cite it. If you didn’t, maybe that’s why she deducted points and commented.”
“grammarly rewrites can absolutely trigger turnitin, its a known issue. next time run your final draft through Humantext before submitting so you can catch that stuff.”
“Although I admit that I used grammarly to check my grammar and improved but the contents in there was all done by me the ideas, the flow was by Me😭 I was thinking maybe it was the data?”
“As I'm not native English speaker, I've used grammarly and some agents to get better grasp on gnarlier pieces of bpftrace. What gave you the ai vibes?”
“They have seriously pivoted to being AI first, I just need a spelling and grammar checker. I want to just write and check, not have a virtual assistant and slop generator (I do that fine myself).”
“If you aren’t using AI and avoid using reformatting via grammarly you should be fine. The AI checker is going to throw similarities anyway, but the important part is that you are using APA citation correctly if that’s what the papers rubric is asking for.”
“I'm doing the PHL 212 touchstone and if I copy paste it, quote from one of the passages and the milestone passages, grammarly counts it as AI! So if I turn it in, will it be flagged?”
“You can use Grammarly, I believe its a free Add-on to your browser, Microsoft Office and emails. Though it won't re write anything for you, it can provide you with alternative phrases or a betree structure to your writing.”
“I personally only use it for proofreading, to sort out inconsistencies, glaring errors and awkward sentences, it's more like Grammarly; for any original contents, you have to come up with your own.”
“The answer was almost always the same: it corrects you while you're mid-sentence, and it only ever adjusts formality up or down. Neither actually fixes the real problem, which is that an email from an analyst and an email from someone like a CEO shouldn't just differ in how "polite" they sound — they're different voices entirely.”
“Anyway, I usually find the Grammarly basic version good enough. I write something myself, and they proofread it for me. It's much less invasive than using ChatGPT, but it's much more comprehensive than built-in spellcheckers on Microsoft Word.”
“I think Grammarly mainly focuses on sentence correction based on the grammar and terms you used, but GenAI tools like ChatGPT replaced your main idea without human thinking”
“The suggested edits are hot garbage in my opinion, but how are schools expressly condoning use of Grammarly in apps when it's essentially just a shittier genAI product???”
“Dug into it and found that Grammarly bought superhuman, renamed its parent company to Superhuman, and decided to build some ridiculous AI productivity suite under the Superhuman umbrella.”
“Regarding Grammarly, if the form asks, check yes. Grammarly changes commas and spelling. It generates nothing. I marked yes on my application and the consortium raised no issues during my interview.”
“Does anyone here use Grammarly? If so, how do you add it to your Ecosia browser? I haven't been able to figure it out, and I'm scared to download extensions from unofficial websites.”
“Grammarly’s auto complete suggestions are, drumroll, AI. Being such a distinguished (former) contributor, you would be aware of the giant no no when it comes to using AI to train AI.”
“I was taking my LSAT Argumentative writing when grammarly suggestions popped up. I thought I had closed and disabled the application but apparently it was still up and running. I tried closing it but nothing worked so I continued my argumentative analysis while ignoring it.”
