The Agender Kiwi<a href="https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@itsfoss</a> "LanguageTool was acquired... ...processes data on US servers, instead of European ones."Ew.Also reminds me of how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Grammarly</a> used to be. No frills; nice and simple. Harper also doesn't come with any privacy invasive features which is nice.

AnneTheWriter<a href="https://tootsweet.social/@annewalk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@annewalk</a> 🧵3/X On that same idea... While <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Grammarly</a> , <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ProWritingAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProWritingAid</a> , and other similar grammar software are AI, they are a different kind of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> . While they do use <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> to offer suggestions etc, they do not write the book for you. In the same way that "All Dalmations are dogs, but not all dogs are Dalmations," it is also accurate to say that "All <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> is AI, but not all <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> is Generative."Grammarly does use AI to assist writers, but it cannot write the book for them. This is why I personally have far fewer ethical issues with such software. Yes, it probably did scrape a library for training, but at least it doesn't allow writers to take credit for the work of a robot. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WritersLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WritersLife</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenAI</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WritingWithChatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WritingWithChatbots</a>

AnneTheWriter<a href="https://tootsweet.social/@annewalk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@annewalk</a> 🧵2/X As for the issue of using <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Grammarly</a> vs <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> :Think of the process of making a wedding gown.The Seamstress measures the bride, designs the gown, draws & cuts out the paper pattern, chooses the materials, cuts out the fabric, sews it all together, then tailors it for the bride. If robots were to make the gown-- drawing out the design, cutting fabric, etc.-- then she would not be a “Seamstress.” She would NOT be an artist, she would merely be using a machine, the same way you use a toaster. (This is the equivalent of generative AI, which draws & writes everything based on prompts, while the prompter does none of the actual work.)But the Seamstress makes the gown. Yes, she uses a sewing machine, but the majority of the hard work is her own. (Similarly, programs like Grammarly use a form of AI, but the writer/artist who uses them is like the Seamstress who uses a sewing machine: Those are merely tools to help the writer, and the writer does all the actual work.)

AnneTheWriter<a href="https://tootsweet.social/@annewalk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@annewalk</a> 🧵1/X This also points to the need to pay a HUMAN Editor instead of relying on only <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> or grammar-checker software to "edit" the book. Human eyes would have caught this. Chatbots and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Grammarly</a> are NOT a full replacement for a paid <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Editor</a> . "Self-editing" does NOT replace a human Editor.Humans will catch other things that AI tends to miss, like:* A character's eye or clothing color changing mid-paragraph.* Info dumps (NEVER use them).* Overuse of the same word.* Too much tell, not enough show.* Homonymns and other words that spell-checkers won't catch.* Inconsistent punctuation style.* Paragraphs that REALLY need to be broken up.* The most problematic issues with "self-editing" are the sentences where YOU know what you meant, but the reader will be confused. A good <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editor</a> does far more than spellcheck. They are well worth their cost.
