Yeah, but that’s not what this tool was? It analyzed writing styles, not copied them.

That's also what art AI does. It analyzes art styles, then creates unique works based on its "inspiration"

This doesn’t make anything from it, though. It gives you word counts, like how much passive voice was used and how many -ly adverbs. There’s nothing unique created from it.

That’s honestly the issue being pointed out here - people see “AI” and have knee jerk reactions, without seeing how is being used here. I’m completely against AI being used to make “art” or do writing, but that’s not what what this tool did at all. But folks assumed it did.
