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.

In case anyone is interested in an alternative, I personally use LanguageTool because it is open source and works very well.
Per their website premium includes "Unlimited sentence paraphrasing powered by A.I." so I'm not sure they're an appropriate alternative to avoid the "AI" bullshit.
You can't avoid the AI "bullshit". It's like saying you want to avoid this portable phone craze. It's a tool.
I can avoid it like I've avoided cryptocurrency and NFTs. And it may be a "tool," but it's one built on the theft from and unpaid labor of tens of thousands of independent creators, and is nigh wholly controlled by corporate interests bent on eliminating those same independent creators whose data they stole to make their "tools." It should not exist. Not until it can be made in an ethical manner without harming the creatives necessary to make it.
The whole system is built on exploitation. I don't see you boycotting luxury clothes, diamond, rare metal that are made by exploiting someone from a third world country to inhuman levels. Ah, yes. It could affect people you know, It's immoral now. Am tired of this hypocrisy.

You know nothing at all about me
Don't call me on my hypocrisy please isn't a valid point.
it is, actually; your argument is a whataboutism, which is logically fallacious
That's okay. Y'all can act like AI is the worst thing human did.Honestly, what did i really expect ? Some self-reflection. My bad.

I'm pretty sure most tools like this have to use ai to some degree to be more effective than something like Microsoft Word. I think the issue is more whether it's opt in or not to include your own data.
Can confirm good drop in replacement. Also self hostable (to a point )
Does that have a chrome plugin?
Yes.
It even have a thunderbird plugin and works in all major editors.
You can self host it as well, which is how the editor plugins work by default.
I appreciate you spreading open source alternatives, but this is one of those things that needs an HR solution; not IT.
what do you mean?
I actually have no idea what I was talking about when I wrote that. That’s a bit troubling.
I took a quick look at this and it seems that the server portion of this product is open source but the apps such as extensions are not. I'm not saying it's bad or even that it's a red flag. I just felt like I should point it out.
this is awesome, thanks for sharing
