The quote clearly objects to a tech company selling an unauthorized 'imposter version' of the speaker’s work, which strongly implies opposition to AI impersonation without consent and thus support for banning it.

The quote shows disapproval — the author is "distressed" that a company is selling an "imposter version" of their expertise — but it does not explicitly say AI impersonation should be banned.

Verified: the exact sentence appears in the March 12, 2026 TechCrunch article you provided, where it is attributed to Julia Angwin as a statement. TechCrunch’s linked PRF Law case page also reproduces the same sentence verbatim under “Julia Angwin said,” confirming both the wording and attribution.

Quote confirmed via multiple sources covering Julia Angwin's class action lawsuit against Grammarly's owner (Superhuman Platform, Inc.) filed March 11, 2026. The lawsuit alleges Grammarly's 'Expert Review' tool used journalists' names/identities without consent for AI editing services. Exact quote appears in Nieman Lab, Legal Reader, TheTechMarketer, amNewYork, PRF Law, and others. TechCrunch URL returned 403 but content extensively corroborated. Vote 'for' banning AI impersonation without consent aligns perfectly with her lawsuit's central claim. Year 2026 matches.
