Grammarly enters the AI content war with a new anti-cheating tool

From PC World: Popular editing software Grammarly is entering the ongoing AI content war with a tool called Authorship, which provides granular details on what portions of an author’s work are AI-generated or edited.

Authorship will be available for beta testing in Google Docs for all Grammarly customers starting in September 2024 and 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 altering the tone of content, checking for plagiarism, and AI-powered text generation.

What Authorship does is provide an extremely detailed breakdown of a given text, showing which words the author wrote versus which words were apparently copied from an external source. Authorship uses AI to differentiate between words that are original, edited via AI, cut and pasted from another site, or even flagged as “unnatural typing pattern.”
