Grammarly AI Editor Feature Sparks Backlash Over Unwanted User Identity Disclosure

Grammarly has introduced a new “Expert Review” feature that uses AI suggestions, but its decision to disclose authors’ real names without permission has sparked criticism and raised concerns about the misuse of personal data. The tool provides credibility boosts to AI-generated content, making it seem more trustworthy than it actually is. In response to public outcry, Grammarly has announced an opt-out option for users who wish to avoid their identity being displayed in conjunction with AI suggestions.
