Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

In a talk to young writers last night I showed this viral tweet as an e.g. of public engagement

I was gobsmacked when a number of people came up & said they had already seen it loose on the internet (w/o my name, obviously)

Clearly drunk cat is my true & most enduring legacy, & I wish him well 😽

kiddo rows so will spend the entire time going “uff this is too narrow to row in” and then I will have to explain bumps to her and life is too short

please know that this thread caused me to trip accidentally and fall into Daunt Books, which resulted in me spending £30 on books not out in the US yet

(also they’ve an event next Wednesday evening with the author of May We Feed the King)

oh that might be grand! let me talk to kiddo, we are rapidly approaching having 2 days worth of things to see rather than one day

maybe! let me speak to kiddo, maybe we’ll do two days in Oxford

he really was, him and Michael are killing it

My mate @marclaming.bsky.social with writer @alexdecampi.bsky.social and colourist Michael Woods are bringing back Dan Dare in an eye melting beautiful book.

I think Marc may have been put on earth to draw this.

Kickstarter already over halfway funded in a few days too. Get yours 🫡 🚀

thank you so much!!

Baaaacked! Like I wasn't going to back the Pilot of the Future. No, not that one. I meant Dan Dare.

YES thank you

don’t worry about timing, you’re very kind to be willing to offer advice at all!

Kiddo (mid teens) likes old things and architecture, and has been regaled with your “nobody loved building on a swamp quite like gothic architects” thread. When she saw Parliament she looked at me and said “swamp?”

taggng in @oldenoughtosay.com who may have opinions

Oxford friends: kiddo is interested in going to Oxford for uni and we are visiting in the next few weeks. Anyone have advice on the unmissable? Have already booked Bod & walking tour and entrance to a couple colleges

I’m so sorry to hear that, what a chore! went to visit my old friend the Gough Map a few weeks ago and saw the notice

I have seriously thought of adding invisible text to my website to mess with AI
