Superhuman CEO apologizes for Grammarly AI feature

Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra addressed a controversial Grammarly feature that used AI-cloned expert names without permission, leading to outrage and a lawsuit. Mehrotra apologized, admitting the feature was flawed and misaligned with the company's strategy. He explained the inspiration was to allow users to receive expert-like feedback, but the execution fell short, failing both users and experts. The company has since discontinued the feature and is focusing on building a platform where creators can choose to participate and monetize their contributions, drawing parallels to YouTube's creator ecosystem.
