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.

There is a second way, legend has it. The ancient ones tell a tale of the one that does not use the service, and does not train someone else's shitty models for free.

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.

Yeah, when I write something public I accept that anyone can read it or use it for whatever reason. When I pay for a service then it's a bit of a grey area. When the service is free I know my data will be used to make money by any means necessary.

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.
