Text in the screenshot from Grammarly says:
We develop data sets to train our algorithms so that we can improve the services we provide to customers like you. We have devoted significant time and resources to developing methods to ensure that these data sets are anonymized and de-identified.
To develop these data sets, we sample snippets of text at random, disassociate them from a user's account, and then use a variety of different methods to strip the text of identifying information (such as identifiers, contact details, addresses, etc.). Only then do we use the snippets to train our algorithms-and the original text is deleted. In other words, we don't store any text in a manner that can be associated with your account or used to identify you or anyone else.
We currently offer a feature that permits customers to opt out of this use for Grammarly Business teams of 500 users or more. Please let me know if you might be interested in a license of this size, and I'II forward your request to the corresponding team.
I mean you've been using their service for free...
Listen I get people who but they have said they train their programs based on your responses for a while. If your not paying for these services then yeah they are going to monetize and improve the service off of what you do and includes ai.
Start paying for the services you use... And I don't mean simple ten or twelve dollar a month plans, which I'm betting she doesn't use either
People really have gotten used to the free lunch model...
What do you recommend she do? Spend for 500 accounts?
Find better solutions. I found that grammarly results are similar to office. If you want to buy a product buying word versus renting grammarly would be a better choice.
There's multiple other websites that do the same as grammarly. But if you choose to go with a free option or low cost option this happens
As a Québécois, one piece of software I really like is called Antidote, which does pretty much the same as Grammarly, without the online components, unless you pay for the subscription. It also works in both French and English.
