Grammarly has disabled its AI 'expert review' feature that claimed its editing suggestions were 'inspired by' real writers without their permission, including The Verge's editor-in-chief and staff. The company acknowledged the feature missed the mark and will be reimagined to give experts control over their representation. This comes amid growing concerns about AI companies using people's work and identities without proper consent.
Background
AI companies increasingly use real people's writing styles and expertise to train language models, raising ethical questions about consent and attribution. Grammarly's writing assistance tools rely on AI to suggest improvements to user text.
