Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Adding a related reminder: Grammarly is now a full-service cheating machine (Cheating-as-a-Service? CaaS?) and no university should endorse its use by students.

I'm all for electric vehicles (except for Tesla) and fuel efficiency, but you know what I'm not here for? The piety of electric vehicle owners. Where the fuck do you think electricity comes from?

You haven't made a single salient point. It's just lol and sarcasm that seems to lack an understanding of how the real world works.

The "psyched I don't have to care about gas prices vibe" is weird. When was the last time you left your city limits?

So you want contractors to replace their fleets and equipment at new-car prices? It's not really a lol moment. When's the last time you left the city?

Again, love the feed, but explain how this helps any plumber, electrician, construction worker -- or any other home or commercial services business other than maybe housecleaning or deliveries. You can't run a tree-service business with a fleet of Chevy Bolts.
