Search every verified Shishir Mehrotra interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Superhuman, the company formerly known as Grammarly, appeared on The Verge's Decoder podcast in March 2026 to discuss a controversy involving the company's Expert Review feature. The feature, launched in August, generated writing suggestions from AI-cloned "experts," and reporters discovered that these included the podcast host and others without their permission. During the interview, Mehrotra stated, "We should not be able to impersonate you. Period. We did not," and argued that if an LLM product uses someone's work, it should attribute and link back to them. He declined to provide specific details about how many times names were used, citing an ongoing legal case, though he acknowledged that all interactions were logged. Mehrotra also discussed the broader public perception of AI, comparing it to past technologies like YouTube, Napster, and Uber, where high utility outweighed economic or social costs. He expressed that AI is "only perceived as extractive" and noted it is "less beloved than ICE," which he found surprising. He concluded by mentioning that Superhuman is building "Superhuman Go" with a significant set of launches expected in the coming months.
