Grammarly Pulls AI Expert Review After Backlash, Faces Writers’ Identity Lawsuit
Grammarly disabled its Expert Review AI feature that mimicked real writers’ voices after public backlash and a class-action lawsuit in SDNY alleging the use of identities for commercial gain without permission; the suit seeks more than $5 million and highlights critics who say the tool monetized real people’s identities. Grammarly’s parent company Superhuman apologized, said the feature was taken down for a redesign, and pledged to rethink its approach while the claims’ merit is contested.
