Grammarly professes to offer AIs based on "real experts" to instantly edit your writing?

The Grammarly summary:

Expert Review feels like having trusted expert reviewers by your side. This AI agent provides high-quality, domain-specific feedback based on publicly available expert content, helping you meet the expectations of your field with confidence.

...

Open a doc in Grammarly’s AI writing surface and click the icon for the Expert Review agent to check your text.

In practice it supposedly works like this:

Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Another post:

Using Grammarly for the first time in forever ... WHAT? 

As a non-native speaker writing primarily in English, I used to use it to check prepositions, point out too long/convoluted sentences etc. 

It now offers to summon colleagues both living and dead to "expert review" the piece???
