Grammarly is an extremely obvious intelligence cutout masquerading as a company. Their entire business model is getting employees insecure about their English skills to dump sensitive government and business documents into their service without their employer's knowledge. They were founded in and keep multinational offices in intelligence laundering hotspots so the Americans can claim to have received tips from the Germans and the Germans from the Ukrainians and so on.

That doesn’t make any sense. Everyone used it in high school and college, they’re very heavily targeted to education.

If anything, Microsoft Editor (which is on by default) would be an tool of intelligence because we already know Microsoft participated in PRISM, but that’s boring and too unstoppable

Because education is where you get people hooked as life long users?

I think they cater mostly to people whose first language is not English. Maybe they are still keeping intelligence on those people, but there is a legitimate need there

Stipulating that this is a valid concern, the obvious judo move is to craft a bunch of subtle GPT inputs to feed disinformtzya to this alleged collector.

That is, such an intel conduit works well until the the subjects turn the tables.

Probably a high tech thriller plot in there somewhere.
