iA Writer 7, the latest version of the minimalist multi-platform writing software, has a new feature that\u2019s designed to clearly mark text contributed by generative AI systems like ChatGPT. While your own words appear in black, you can choose for AI-generated text copied into your iA document to be greyed out. Then, as you tweak and edit the AI additions you can easily keep track of how much text is your original work and how much is artificially generated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In its blog post about the feature, the company outlines its philosophy about using AI-generated text in writing. Rather than letting AI become a \u201cghostwriter\u201d that \u201ctakes over\u201d and makes you \u201close your voice,\u201d iA Writer\u2019s feature is designed to encourage you to use AI \u201cas a dialog partner\u201d that \u201cmakes you think more and write better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

iA Writer can sometimes recognize when text is AI-generated, but marking it as such is optional.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: iA Writer<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Although there are automated elements to the authorship feature, I found it to be a largely manual process during my brief testing. \u201cIt\u2019s up to you to decide how honest you want to be with yourself,\u201d iA\u2019s blog post notes. Although the software recognized my AI text when I copied it in from ChatGPT\u2019s website on desktop, it only did so when I included the original prompt alongside ChatGPT\u2019s response. iA Writer didn\u2019t recognize text from ChatGPT if I only copied over the generative AI\u2019s response without my prompt. To manually get it to appear as AI text, you can right click, select \u201cPaste As\u201d and then choose \u201cChatGPT.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As a result, the feature is less about detecting plagiarism or watermarking AI-generated content, and more about giving creatives a tool to see the sometimes blurry line between their own words and those contributed by generative AI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The authorship feature is only available with iA Writer\u2019s Mac, iOS, and iPadOS apps for now, and the company says it\u2019s planning to bring it to iA Writer\u2019s other platforms like Windows and Android in the future. But more interesting is that iA has published the spec on Github, and says it\u2019s open to working with other apps to \u201cideally\u201d turn the feature into a new standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
