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.<\/p>\n

The problem, of course, is that bosses and teachers around the world quickly got wise to the phenomenon \u2014 and as a result, any text that feels too tidy and polished has started to arouse suspicion. <\/p>\n

Now, in an effort to reintroduce some of the messiness of human writing \u2014 and hide our AI addiction \u2014 venture capitalist Ben Horwitz used Anthropic\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made the anti-Grammarly,\u201d he bragged<\/a>, referring to a popular, AI-powered spelling and grammar checker. \u201cMess up your emails with AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cleverly named software, dubbed \u201cSinceerly<\/a>,\u201d promises to wreak some controlled havoc on overly coiffed emails, from undoing capitalization at the beginning of a sentence to the introduction of glaring typos that would make any copy editor\u2019s eye twitch. (We\u2019d advise against trying it out yourself until you get to the caveat at the end of this piece, though.)<\/p>\n

You can even choose the degree of severity for the errors, ranging from \u201cSubtle,\u201d to \u201cCEO,\u201d a tongue-in-cheek jab at high-ranking executives who are known for how little care they put into their communications. It\u2019ll even go as far as to append the phrase \u201csent from my iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The browser plugin was inspired by our growing obsession with often-overbearing spellcheckers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a terrible typist, naturally, and lightly dyslexic,\u201d Horwitz told Business Insider\u2019s<\/em> Katie Notopoulos<\/a>. \u201cIt would take me so long in my first job straight out of college to write emails and make sure there were no typos and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Grammarly came around, it was like, \u2018Oh, OK, this is pretty good for me.\u2019 But now my email inbox is filled with AI slop,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tested Sinceerly by cold emailing 5 Fortune 500 CEOs,\u201d Horwitz bragged in a Thursday tweet<\/a>. \u201cFour replied. Of those replies, each was under ten words. Two replies had typos.\u201d <\/p>\n

In Notopoulos\u2019 testing, the tool turned a polite email draft informing her boss that she\u2019s hoping \u201cto have a sandwich for lunch today\u201d into a messier \u201cwriting to confirm lunch plans\u201d when shifted into \u201cCEO\u201d mode.<\/p>\n

However, in our own testing, the vibe-coded project appears to have succumbed to bugs after BI<\/em> published its piece, with an error message rendering it largely useless. In other words, for now, you\u2019re stuck relying on your own human flaws for less AI-sounding work emails.<\/p>\n
