Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”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.

I could have read it at that age but god not in school. It took the other english class ALL YEAR to read it. Enough to kill the joy out of anything

In high school I rearranged my schedule to get out of a bad english teacher’s class. They spent ALL year reading Moby Dick and I thanked my stars I wasn’t there. But hey, it’s been a few decades, I think I can let go of a grudge πŸ˜€

For those keeping score at home:

I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week.

Interpreter here - No, LLMs don’t interpret well. A technology that can’t understand emotion, culture, subtext, or future implications doesn’t cut it, ESPECIALLY in a legal situations
