Grammarly, a familiar name in the world of writing assistance tools, has once again made headlines with the unexpected twist of their latest feature dubbed as “expert review.” Promising to offer writing advice “inspired by” subject matter experts, this feature initially sparked interest across the globe. However, as Wired reports, this fascinating innovation has raised more eyebrows than it possibly intended to. Among the advisors guiding Grammarly users, you’ll find some you weren’t expecting – deceased professors, and more peculiarly, living persons who never agreed to contribute.
Podczas testowania funkcji byłem zaskoczony niektórymi nazwiskami, na które się natknąłem. Był tam mój szef, Nilay Patel, redaktor naczelny serwisu The Verge, wraz z komentarzami pozornie przypisywanymi Davidowi Pierce'owi, Seanowi Hollisterowi i Tomowi Warrenowi, innym znanym redaktorom The Verge. Osobliwa część? Żaden z tych ekspertów nie dał Grammarly zielonego sygnału do umieszczenia ich nazwisk w recenzjach ekspertów, podkreślając potencjalne kwestie etyczne i wątpliwości co do dokładności porad generowanych przez sztuczną inteligencję.
Using AI to pull off something as lofty as expert advice is certainly captivating. When Grammarly launched this brainchild back in August, they aimed it would provide specialized feedback to students and professionals. And while the concept certainly had everyone talking, it appears that the implementation failed to tick some crucial boxes. Consent and authenticity, among other things, seemed to have been overlooked, creating a significant deficit on the promise of delivering a truly reliable AI-driven tool. As the world advances into the AI era, it’s paramount that innovators like Grammarly align their creations with the rights of individuals and the authenticity of their advice.
The exciting, sometimes bewildering world of AI continues to evolve, throwing us curveballs in ways we least expect. Don’t miss out on this rollercoaster journey. To dive deeper, check out the full story at The Verge.
