Grammarly removes AI Expert Review feature mimicking writers after backlash

Grammarly has quietly shelved its AI Expert Review feature, which promised to rewrite user text in various styles, bowing to pressure from writers who saw the tool as a threat to their livelihoods and a form of unauthorized mimicry of their craft. The move marks a rare retreat by an AI company in the face of creator backlash, signaling that even well-funded startups cannot ignore the growing unease around generative AI's ability to replicate human work without consent. It raises a thornier question for the entire industry: if a writing assistance tool can't expand into style imitation without triggering an exodus, what other AI capabilities are destined for the same fate?
