Grammarly “cloned” Julia Angwin, Stephen King, and Neil deGrasse Tyson as AI editors, without asking. Angwin is now suing. The feature is gone, the apology is filed, and the AI Julia apparently gave bad advice. (Miles Klee, Wired)
- Grammarly's "Expert Review" feature let users get writing feedback supposedly styled after real journalists, authors, and academics.
- Angwin filed a class action suit in New York citing right-of-publicity laws in New York and California, with claimed damages over $5 million.
- Superhuman pulled the feature before the lawsuit landed and apologized, which in legal terms means roughly nothing.
