I've been a Grammarly customer for quite some time, and I have tried the AI suggestions, but it always loses something and ends up with a whiny, apologetic tone. AI always seems so verbose and wordy.

AI writing assistant providing grammar, spelling, tone, and clarity suggestions across browsers, desktop, and mobile apps for personal and business writing.

Grammarly is all in on AI and recently started recommended splitting "wasn't" and added the contraction to the word it modified. Example: "truly wasn't" becomes "was trulyn't" https://imgur.com/a/RQZ2wXA

I've been a long time use of Grammarly. I have used it for most of my books. I have a 150 week long streak using it. I've used it as an example of good ux for AI. Now I'm considering vibe coding a replacement that just does grammar fixing... Ironic, because I don't want the AI writing, only the grammar checking

> I think tools like grammarly help strike a balance between 'AI slop machine' and 'help with my writing'. I found Grammerly to be often incorrect, but it's been years since I tried it. I use LanguageTool instead, simply to catch typos.

This is a bit surprising. I even didn't expect Grammarly to have the cash, I used to be a paying customer of theirs when I was writing papers, but apparently with AI I don't even need the free Grammarly anymore.
