A simple way to prove that a piece of text, a post, a message, was written by me.

Yes, the burden should not lie on the author, and you could argue it's not even relevant. Still, the default has shifted and there's a refreshing feeling when you're forced to choose your own words.

This is not perfect. You can still find ways to have a machine write a text into this box. But what's guaranteed is the time: writing a message takes the time a human would actually need.

At the very least writtenhuman.com is a statement that the problem it's tackling is real. One with the potential to become a global crisis.
