I hate to break it to you, but we're all presently training someone else's shitty models for free by commenting on Lemmy. Probably multiple organizations at some point, in fact.

The third way is like the second way: we learn to write good without crutches.

Please read turn to page 32 of your copy of Strunk & White and recite the prayer against avoiding excess verbiage.

Came here to say this. I've been using LanguageTool for a while, but they've also recently started implementing AI into the product.

Using AI itself isnt a problem if the engine they're using is completely proprietary. But they're likely using some third-party engine to send the data to. But I'd love to be proven wrong by them open sourcing the code for it so I can take a look at it myself.

Depending on how they're training it, they're likely looking at when grammarly corrections were accepted or rejected and the context around that. That's what I'd be using from the dataset anyhow

Remember that people have said GPT4 is getting dumber because of interacting with humans.

On average, people's grammar is correct, kind of by definition.

I can actually tell you a little about how this worked. The training data went through a team of grammarly writing experts before being fed to the AI. Writing experts would get short snippets out of context, often from publicly available text (e.g., reddit comments, classic novels, poems, scientific papers) and correct it for both grammar and clarity, then that would then become training data. Later on the team would do the same for content generated by the AI.

Source: Was one of the writing experts. For a couple of weeks I was correcting snippets that were very very obviously from r/squaredcircle. Very weird reading about Dave Batista's giant dong at work.

I see this complaint a lot but honestly I don’t quite understand what the big deal is. Not everyone is subscribed to the same communities. Personally, I’d love a feature on kbin/lemmy that rolled up duplicate posts on the client, but it’s really not that annoying for me to see a couple dupes in my feed if they’re posted in relevant communities /shrug

Maybe it's relevant to those community i guess, so they posted it there. I didn't see such complaint in reddit where multiple sub posted the same stuff over a few days(eg: games, gaming, pcgaming, pcmr, so on and so forth, can share the same exact news and it will appear in your feed multiple times), so not sure why it suddenly a problem in Lemmy.

Most people consider email private. Plus a lot of people use Grammarly for work documents.

they have a personal use premium service, which the author already pays for.

What do you recommend she do? Spend for 500 accounts?
