Topic: Grammarly's New Generative AI Capabilities

I am reposting a post I added to the AI use for reviews threads. I posted it 5 days ago and there have been about a dozen posts since but none that referred back to mt question. So, I am posting it here as a new thread.

This afternoon I queried Copilot and asked if Grammarly is considered an AI assistant. Here's the reply.

* * * * * *
Grammarly is considered an AI tool due to its advanced algorithms and features that utilize artificial intelligence for content improvement. It employs Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to analyze and enhance written content, making it a powerful writing assistant. However, while Grammarly's core functions are AI-driven, it has recently integrated generative AI capabilities, allowing it to create new content based on user prompts. This evolution has led to some discussions about whether Grammarly's content can be flagged as AI-generated, especially when using its generative features.

When I checked Grammarly an hour ago, one the options for members with a full membership account, there is a section for them where ai generative option is available to them. Yes, that is on the Grammarly site.

I'm using Grammarly as I write my new novel. It has reshaped some of my text, not a lot but some, to make it read more clearly and concisely. Should I not post it? In one instance it rewrote a full paragraph. Before answering, it might be a good idea to reread the last three or four sentences of the above Copilot reply to my query.


I perceive that is going to make us decide how we define AI. Sorry if this opens a new can of worms, but I want to know if what I post adheres to the intent of this site. I've put many weeks of research and work into formulating this novel. But if it would be considered contrary to the values of the site, I won't post it.
I do know a number of folks on the site who use Grammarly and everyone here has been okay with it thus far. But with its improved capabilities, should we reconsider using Grammarly for works posted on this site?
Just wondering.

PS:  Should I start this as a new thread?


Thanks ... Alan

From what I learned, MS Word's editing is AI driven as well. I personally believe that AI will never generate creative ideas so it's usable as a tool for things like editing.

Re: Grammarly's New Generative AI Capabilities

I could not find a good definition of generative AI from previous postings so here is one generated by Grok (Musk's AI):
Generative AI (often shortened to GenAI) is a category of artificial intelligence that can create new content from scratch — things that didn’t exist before.
It learns patterns from huge amounts of data (text, images, audio, video, code, 3D models, etc.) and then generates new examples that look and feel similar to the training data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, George. I appreciate your response tend to pretty much agree with it. I'm going to start posting my novel soon Just need to do a little more polishing on the first several chapters. I've started reviewing a bit - been really sick since Saturday but starting to feel better. I'll see what you have posted real soon.

Have fun with your writing.

Alan
