""I made the anti-Grammarly," he bragged, referring to a popular, AI-powered spelling and grammar checker. "Mess up your emails with AI.""
""I am a terrible typist, naturally, and lightly dyslexic. It would take me so long in my first job straight out of college to write emails and make sure there were no typos and everything.""
""When Grammarly came around, it was like, 'Oh, OK, this is pretty good for me.' But now my emails...""
The rise of large language model writing tools has made it easy for unconfident writers to produce polished text. However, this has led to suspicion from bosses and teachers. To counteract this, venture capitalist Ben Horwitz developed a browser plugin called Sinceerly, which intentionally adds typos to emails. This tool aims to reintroduce the messiness of human writing and offers varying degrees of error severity. Horwitz, who struggles with typing and dyslexia, found traditional spellcheckers overly controlling and sought to create a more authentic writing experience.
