The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it

This Grammarly thing is exactly why people don't trust tech companies anymore. They act like if they can scrape your voice, style, and reputation into a product, they should. Then when people get mad, suddenly there's an "opt out" buried in the settings like that fixes the basic sleaze of it. If your whole pitch is "we made an AI version of you," permission should come first, not after a PR mess. And no, this isn't some niche journalist problem. If they'll clone writers and editors now, they'll do it to teachers, artists, pastors, whoever has a recognizable voice online. The default in this industry is harvest first, apologize later. That's not innovation. It's just digital trespassing with better branding.
