Add this to the list of signs that the digital apocalypse may be imminent. The following is from a recent article on futurism.com titled “New Browser Plugin Adds Typos to Your AI-Generated Emails to Make Them Look Real.”
“The advent of large language model-based writing tools have given lazy or unconfident writers incredible new shortcuts that can spit out everything from glossy work emails to crispy school papers. The problem, of course, is that bosses and teachers around the world quickly got wise to the phenomenon — and as a result, any text that feels too tidy and polished has started to arouse suspicion.
“Now, in an effort to reintroduce some of the messiness of human writing — and hide our AI addiction — venture capitalist Ben Horwitz used Anthropic’s Claude AI to vibe code a browser plugin that does something that would have seemed preposterous just a few years ago: intentionally adding typos to emails. “I made the anti-Grammarly,” he bragged, referring to a popular, AI-powered spelling and grammar checker. “Mess up your emails with AI.”
Artificial intelligence can be a very powerful and useful tool. But the rise of A.I. has also highlighted some potential dangers. One such danger is that it can blur the line between what is artificial or fake and what is real. For example, pictures can be digitally created that appear to be the real thing. Voices and images can be altered to make it appear that someone said or did something they didn’t really say or do. And when people get to the point where they can’t tell the difference between what is fake or real, they tend to gravitate toward extremes. They either begin to believe everything or believe nothing. Do you know anyone like that?
The enemy loves to blur the line between what is fake and what is real. The Bible tells us that “...even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:4). Does that mean A.I. is demonic? No. But, like everything else, the devil will try to use it to his advantage if he can.
God loves you!
