News Summary

Grammarly has introduced a controversial new feature that offers ‘expert reviews’ from virtual versions of well-known academics and authors, both living and deceased. This AI-driven service, part of the company’s rebranding to ‘Superhuman,’ allows users to receive writing feedback that is purportedly inspired by the works of figures like Stephen King and Carl Sagan. However, these experts are not directly involved, and their inclusion has raised legal and ethical questions, especially regarding copyright and the use of names and reputations without consent. Critics argue that this feature exploits intellectual property and reputations, leading to potential legal challenges.
