Grammarly ditches "Expert Review" after expert rebellion and class action suit

Summary: The company behind Grammarly, Superhuman, had to cancel its new "Expert Review" feature. This tool used artificial intelligence (AI) to check people's writing and promised to take it to the next level. The problem? The AI learned how to write by copying the hard work of famous authors and journalists without asking for their permission.

Now, the company is facing a big class-action lawsuit for over $5 million. A famous writer named Julia Angwin is leading the charge, saying it is unfair for tech companies to steal the skills that professionals spent decades building. After the backlash, the company admitted they "fell short" and removed the feature.
