Grammarly’s ‘expert review’ is just missing the actual experts
Summary
Grammarly introduced 'Expert Review' in August 2025, an AI-powered feature that offers revision suggestions framed as coming from subject matter experts, including famous authors and tech journalists from publications like The Verge and Wired. The author noted that the feature suggested advice attributed to figures like Casey Newton, Kara Swisher, and Timnit Gebru, despite these individuals not being involved with or having given permission for their names to be used. Grammarly's parent company, Superhuman, stated that these experts are mentioned because their published works are publicly available and widely cited. Grammarly's user guide clarifies that these references are for informational purposes only and do not imply affiliation or endorsement. However, critics argue that since no actual experts are involved in generating the feedback, the feature does not constitute a genuine 'expert review.'
