This update fixes a few small bugs. It includes all the great features in iA Writer 7:

How can you tell if a text was written by a person... or by a robot? Sometimes, you can’t. But at other times, something just seems… off. Using ChatGPT, we often don’t even remember ourselves what we borrowed and what we typed.

Artificial intelligence is a great assistant. But if we blindly allow it to replace our own thoughts and words, we become the mouthpiece of a machine. We need to make sure that we know what we say. And that we say what we mean.

The new iA Writer shows you which words you typed, and which you pasted from ChatGPT or from a friend. It highlights the text you craft yourself and it keeps track of contributors, artificial and natural, so that your voice is what comes through on the page.

For over a decade, iA Writer has helped millions of authors find their voice. With iA Writer 7, we’re making sure you keep it.

# Authorship

- Edits made by AI and other artificial tools are dimmed
- Hand-typed text is always shown in full contrast, making it stand out clearly from dimmed, AI-edited text
- Edits made by other humans are underlined
- Paste menu detects conversations copied from ChatGPT, and offers to automatically mark authorship for your questions and ChatGPT’s answers
- Mark As menu makes it easy to mark authorship of selected text
- Paste As menu pastes text and marks authorship at the same time
- Paste Edits From menu automatically detects changes between the selected text and the pasted text, and attributes the changes to the author you choose
- Authorship annotations are saved at the end of files. Hidden when editing in iA Writer, and visible in other apps
