Grumblings about Grammarly

The "influencers"(?) who talk about how they use it suggest that it gives them more confidence as writers, but all I can see from the way that they use it is that it's doing all the work and they're just accepting its inputs. How does that give you confidence as a writer? Then there's this post from Jason Gulya, commenting on an announcement from Grammarly--now known as Go:
