Grammarly Introduces AI Experts Mimicking Real Authors
In October, Grammarly—rebranded under CEO Shishir Mehrotra’s Superhuman umbrella—launched an "Expert Review" AI that generates critiques modeled on named living and deceased authors and scholars, reportedly including Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Carl Sagan and William Zinsser. WIRED’s review and academics criticized the feature as ethically fraught and possibly infringing, noting it uses scraped works without endorsement and could complicate copyright and academic-integrity enforcement.
