Why?
Every writer understands that original human writing is diluted on the internet. To date, it has been a matter of incentives and economics. SEO, thin content, clickbait and content farming have all had a detrimental effect on the overall quality of content online.
Large-Language-Models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama3, etc. are reducing the cost of creating this type of content to practically nothing. LLMs are also very good at style-transfer, whereas a piece of writing can be rewritten in the style of a specific, known author.
Meanwhile, academics, content writers and students are sometimes falsely accused of using LLMs to create their work. Tools designed to detect LLM-generated content often suffer from many false-positives, as they are designed to prove that conent was generated by an LLM, as opposed to proving it was written by a human.
Our aim with typecha.com is three-fold:
- Allow writers to certify the authorship of their own writing, thus increasing the authenticity and authority of their work.
- Protect authors from impersonation (from LLMs or even other authors), by creating a profile of their writing, connected to their TYPECHA account.
- Host a platform where only human-created content is shared.
We hope that you'll join us on this mission.
