What kind of documents are you typing that you wouldn’t want to learn from your mistakes? If you apply more than a handful of “fixes” at once, you cannot see what changed, right? And you also don’t know if the sentences still make sense? Or am I missing something here?

Sounds so odd, right? I use it to apply fixes for transcription of YouTube videos. There, YouTube uses lower case for things without commas, caps, and periods. I use another tool called https://pinetools.com/remove-line-breaks to add those things. Overall, it provides a good output. I do have to monitor so that it doesn't mess some things. Some use cases have tighter deadlines, relatively easier and non-serious suggestions.

Regarding learning from mistakes, I vote that Grammarly definitely teaches us to write better.

This is probably more for people pasting in a whole document and wanting to accept all suggestions all at once. Then they can review document after.
You are right! In such use cases, this is a huge time-saver! :D
