@thenewoil I try to abstain from using AI as much as possible since I already know these corporations keep breaking ethical sense.

@thenewoil The article asks the same question that I had before reading it: Why use the likeness of real people at all? Just call this automated writers feedback or something else and sell that?

And then the article answers (without noting it) by pointing out that the feedback is just generic and not usable. So did Grammarly try to draw customers for a bad product by just slapping the name from famous people onto it?
