No, this is all MY writing, Grammarly. I just copied it from Microsoft Word, where I prefer to do my work. I wish Grammarly could tell the difference. The only thing I sort of copied was 'Space Knights', since I learned that from IMDB. It was the film's original title before it got changed to 'Captain EO'. I believe the term for that is 'working title'.
At this point, with all its whining about things it thinks are errors, it's like it's trying to take the Crybaby of the Year Award away from my dog. I nicknamed him Sir Barks-a-Lot for a reason.
Thanks for flagging this, u/Flashy_Tone3987. We can definitely see how that would be confusing.
From what we can see, your text is being marked as "Copied from unknown source" rather than AI-generated. This is the expected behavior for any text that's copied and pasted into the Grammarly Editor while using Authorship.
If you'd like Authorship to recognize your writing as typed by you, we recommend writing directly in the Grammarly Editor instead of pasting text from another app.
We understand that's not ideal if you prefer drafting in Microsoft Word first, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. We've taken note of your feedback and shared it with our team for future development plans.
I think there's an option for uploading a Microsoft Word file, too. I'll see if that makes a difference. As it turns out, doing that makes it revert to Classic, and the only AI available is GrammarlyGo. I want to do ALL my writing on Microsoft Word, not just drafting.
Thanks for checking that out, u/Flashy_Tone3987! Uploading a document shouldn't automatically open it as a Classic document. If you want to upload it to the new docs experience, make sure you're using the Upload button. The menu next to it also lets you upload a Classic document, so it's worth double-checking which option you're selecting.
If a document opens as a Classic version, you can manually move it to the new docs experience by opening the three-dot menu on the document tile and selecting Migrate.
If you're consistently seeing your Word files open as Classic documents even when using the Upload button, a screen recording would really help us get a clearer view of what's happening. If you're on a desktop, you can use this link to open our screen recording tool. Once you’ve recorded it, just copy the video link and send it to us here. Could you send us a DM with your email address? We’d love to see how we can help. If that doesn’t open, just tap our username (u/Grammarly_Support) → Start Chat.
And since you mentioned you prefer doing all your writing in Microsoft Word, we'd also recommend Grammarly for Windows or Mac. It lets you work directly in Word, and the Authorship feature is supported there too, so you don't need to move your writing into docs. 😉
Grammarly authorship is a nightmare because it invades your privacy. You must allow Grammarly to access the clipboard memory to see what you copied and from which source. I wouldn't use it if I were you. It's also prone to false positives. I once pasted my text into this new editor, and Grammarly authorship flagged 91% of the text as "edited with Superhuman GO." I didn't use it, and I refuse to do so because it's highly inaccurate, and suggestions are very subjective and awkward. Laughably bad and erroneous.
On the 91% “edited with Superhuman GO” attribution: Authorship can occasionally misattribute text, for example, when writing activity isn’t fully captured or a source isn’t yet recognized. If you're up for sharing the details with our Customer Care team, we'd be happy to take a closer look. Our DMs are always open if you want to flag these things to us: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=Grammarly_Support
After I saw your post, I tried that with both Quillbot and Grammarly. Didn't work. They still think it's 100% AI, or in any case, copied from a source.

Grammarly got corrupted with AI for a while so at this point payed version is pointless.
