Remember when everyone was concerned about A.I. being ACCURATE enough to use for everyday things, like help writing reports and email responses? Then, it turned out to be TOO GOOD . . . and people became concerned that if it looked too perfect, others would KNOW you used A.I.
There's a new app called "Sinceerly" . . . intentionally spelled with a misplaced E . . . which claims it can nix the tell-tale signs of A.I. writing, so that it looks and sounds more human.
There are three different settings: "Subtle" . . . "Human" . . . and "CEO."
The website Gizmodo did a test by feeding one paragraph through each of the filters, and "Subtle" added a few mistakes . . . "Human" was more messy . . . and the CEO had errors, along with professionally clipped delivery and a rushed lack of initial capitals.
But overall, it wasn't all that impressive. They even included one of the classic A.I. tells in the original text . . . the "it's not [x], it's [y]" cadence . . . and that was left intact in each version. (Maybe A.I. isn't THAT self-aware yet.)
So it kinda seems like more of a stunt than an ACTUAL tool.
And that's because it is.
The developer of the app admits that it IS tongue-in-cheek . . . even though the website makes it sound serious.
He also said, "The whole thing is meant to make people think twice and have a little fun. It's closer to satire."
