Superhuman Uses Experts' Names Without Consent
Superhuman (the company formed from Grammarly's rebrand) disabled its 'Expert Review' feature in March 2026 after reporters and users found the tool generated AI writing suggestions attributed to living and deceased experts without consent. The disclosures triggered a class-action lawsuit by journalist Julia Angwin and public apologies from CEO Shishir Mehrotra. The case highlights legal, ethical, and product risks when generative systems attribute content to real people and bypass paywalled sources.
Scoring Rationale
High score reflects credible, same-day reporting with legal action and broad implications for generative writing products; novelty and scope are significant. No freshness penalty applies; score nudged up for authoritative coverage and timeliness, slightly tempered by limited technical detail.
