I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
If this were me I’d be haunting their asses so hard. Every cabinet flying open, candles snuffed out, hot breath on the back of their necks, chains rattling in the night, the whole shebang
If anyone tries to “um actually 🤓” me about these being LLMs to score goober points instead of engaging with the very obviously unethical substance of the problem, I hope you get haunted too
