Q&A with Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra, who apologized for Grammarly's Expert Review feature, on impersonation, attribution, compensating creators, and more

Today, I'm talking with Shishir Mehrotra, who is CEO of Superhuman — that's the company formerly known as Grammarly, which is still its flagship product.

    Incredible @reckless.bsky.social interview with Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra, after his Grammarly used our identities without permission.  —  Nilay does not let up:  —  www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...

    Today's listen.  NGL, I did skip to the part where Nilay asks the CEO of Superhuman about “Expert Review,” and it did not disappoint.

    Well it starts off as a relatively friendly interview but oh man does @reckless.bsky.social start slicing and dicing the “Superhuman” nee Grammerly CEO about the company's “impersonation” feature that everyone discovered and quickly loathed.  Delicious read.  —  www.theverge.com/…
  • @tyleraking.com Tyler King on bluesky
    It's a fascinating interview with a person basically trying to pull the “we're compensating you with exposure” line and I just wanna point out that because LLMs are bullshit machines Grammarly's “expert” feature was citing completely made-up works.  [embedded post]

    Here's my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly's “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission.  Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...  [image]
  • @kashhill @kashhill on bluesky
    Does Grammarly have lawyers or did they just ask an AI agent if this was legal to do?  Even a sycophantic AI agent would have to mention ‘Right of publicity’ laws...  [embedded post]

    attn to my fellow messy bitches: here's the head of Superhuman getting cross-examined by our fearless leader about the “expert review” feature, which gave weird writing advice with real people's names attached - transcript & video lol www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...  [image]
  • @danhon.com Dan Hon on bluesky
    Ohhhh the CEO of Superhuman, née Grammarly, of the “here's bell hooks, Julia Angwin, Nilay Patel etc giving you feedback” feature was running YouTube when they came out with ContentID, which goes a lot to explaining how this happened and how it's going to go:  —  www.theverge.com…

    This interview is wild.  The CEO being interviewed cannot conceive of a world where their right to profit does not come first. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...
