Grammarly with new AI anti-cheat tool

Popular word-editing software Grammarly wants to settle the question of whether a text is created by artificial intelligence or human once and for all. They prepared the tool Authorship (Authorship), which provides detailed information about which parts of the text are created or edited by artificial intelligence.

Authorship will be available for beta testing in Google Docs for all Grammarly customers from September 2024, and will also be available in Microsoft Word and Pages by the end of 2024.

Grammarly offers a free editing service, but charges $12 per month for more advanced features such as changing the tone of content, checking plagiarism, and generating text using artificial intelligence.

The Authorship feature provides a detailed breakdown of the text, showing which words were written by the author and which were clearly copied from an external source. Authorship uses artificial intelligence to distinguish between words that are original, edited by AI, cut and pasted from another site, or even flagged as an "unnatural writing pattern."

You'll find countless programs online that claim to be able to recognize AI content, but in most cases it's a very inaccurate guess, which has been complained about by copywriters who have been wrongly accused of using artificial intelligence many times because of such programs. Fortunately, agencies and educational institutions are moving away from using AI content recognition programs. We will see how good the Authorship function will be very soon.
