Genuine question. Im a writer who occasionally uses grammarly and like doc correct since its automatic on google docs. It doesnt alter my sentences in any way but ig it can be seen as a form of ai. Is that bad to use?
ooo omg i used grammarly for uni. i was overly dependent on the app thinking it would handle all the grammar and vocab.
eventually i learnt it was just making me lazy and unattentive. i wouldn't read through my answers and essays to check for grammar.
then i removed the extension and just depended on the google docs spell check, and i think im doing fine.
technically grammarly doesn't generate new ideas for you (i think? idk about now) so i guess it's not that big of a deal? still, if you're doing creative writing, i personally think it's best to just steer clear of any ai apps/tools.
grammarly just sucks the fun out of creative work.
when i was younger, i used to write michael jackson fics in my notebook and then copy every word on my phone or computer to post on wattpad. i'd love to revert back to that way but who has the time to do all thatttt
anywayyy, i think grammarly can only help you so much. from personal experience, i can attest to the concept of doing everything on your own and using good old google search to understand grammar. it's fairly easy that way too.
i feel there's no need for us to be this reliant on gen ai.
also also grammarly has been wrong quite often in my experience! i think when i was writing my first jungkook fic, lovefool, i had that grammarly extension on but never took any of its suggestions bec i found it unnecessary.
i don't know if i can clearly say if it's good or bad, but i def think it's not all that helpful. it's overrated!
