- keiran_cull 2y agoFrom what I understand, they've used a whole bunch of different kinds of AI models over the years. They've been reasonably transparent about how things work, e.g. this blog post from 2018: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/transforming-writing-style-with-ai/ https://www.grammarly.com/blog/transforming-writing-style-wi...

- tiew9Vii 2y agoI was a big fan of Grammarly, as dyslexic, so often write the wrong word then ten minutes later when re-reading spot i used the wrong word/spelling etc. It worked extremely well, as you say I think by using basic rules engines. I’ve canceled my subscription recently as found it getting worse, not better, I suspect because they are now applying LLMs. The suggestions started to make less sense and the problem with LLM suggestions is all your writing takes the tone of the LLM, you loose your personality/style in what you write. The basic rules approach worked much better for me.
