The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you โ€œsharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.โ€ When users select the โ€œexpert reviewโ€ button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions โ€œinspired byโ€ related experts. Those โ€œindustry-relevant perspectivesโ€ include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others.

The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wiredโ€™s Lauren Goode, Bloombergโ€™s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Timesโ€™ Kashmir Hill, The Atlanticโ€™s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamerโ€™s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodoโ€™s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tomโ€™s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Grammarly has some fucking balls to include this and think it excuses them. How do we sue these fuckers? What kinda fucktard over there thought this would be a good idea?

It's pure identity theftโ€”scraping my entire career's worth of tech stories and then lying to its users/customers that their writing will sound more authoritative as if I actually edited them

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarlyโ€™s AI stole my bossโ€™s identity.

This is SO INSANE. @grammarly is impersonating me and other tech journalists/editors in its "Expert Review" AI feature

The AI feature basically uses my name and @Gizmodo to appear as if we're offering editing/writing suggestions.

Privacy Display on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is very cool!

It also washes out blacks and turns them to hazy gray.

This is X with โ€œlights outโ€ setting aka pure black background

Pebble Index 01 does look... like a nipple on a ring tho lol

Great idea, but it's also... not rechargeable. Single-use lasts 2yrs-ish, then you send it back for recycling.
