I want to highlight this stupid fucking bullshit because literally EVERY TIME an AI writing company has a website, they always have a screenshot that looks good until you read the words that are on the screenshot.
Screenshot from ProWritingAid’s website: Generate writing ideas, improve readability and save time writing with AI SParks.

The screenshot shows that AI has suggested that the paragraph “It was a bright sunny day, the kind of day that made everything feel possible. Sarah woke up early <not visible> because she <not visible> the day’s <not visible> needs to have sensory detail added, and has changed it to “The morning sun cast a warm golden glow, illuminating the world with endless possibilities. Sarah, filled with anticipation, rose prematurely from her slumber, unable to contain her excitement for the day’s thrilling escapade.”
