Grammarly Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over Misleading AI Expert Review Feature

Grammarly’s AI-powered “Expert Review” feature, which provided users with editing suggestions attributed to prominent authors and academics, has been shut down by the company amid allegations of deception. The lawsuit claims that Grammarly’s AI system presented itself as a reliable source of expert opinions, when in fact it relied on pre-existing texts and lacked any actual human evaluation. This misleading presentation of information has led to accusations that the feature was intended to deceive users into believing that their writing was being reviewed by legitimate experts. Critics argue that the use of such language is deceptive and can damage the trust between writers and their tools. Grammarly’s decision to shut down the feature comes as a response to growing concerns about the ethics of AI-generated content.
