{"slug": "show-hn-certify-you-wrote-it-and-not-ai", "title": "Show HN: Certify you wrote it and not AI", "summary": "A new tool called iwrote launched on Hacker News to certify that a piece of writing was authored by a human rather than AI by recording keystroke behavior instead of storing the text itself. According to the product's description, iwrote tracks how a writer types — logging metrics such as 47 minutes, 56 pauses, 134 cuts and 49 pastes in its sample record — and then issues a certification link, such as iwrote.co/you/7k2f9x, that writers can place beneath their work. The tool's stated premise is that AI can be used for research, brainstorming and grammar while the writing itself remains human, with the certification serving as proof of authorship.", "body_md": "Write the way you always do. Read, research, brainstorm with AI, fix your grammar: AI is your tool, not your writer. iwrote keeps the counts, never the words, and if you wrote it yourself, certifies it under your name.
