1. **Analyze the Request:** * **Role:** News summarization expert. * **Task:** Summarize the provided article (or, in this case, the *title* and *context* provided, since the "Article Text" is empty except for the title repeated). * **Length:** 2-4 sentences. * **Constraints:** * Concise. * Focus on most important information. * DO NOT copy-paste. * DO NOT just restate the title. * Add new information beyond the title. * Answer in English. 2. **Analyze the Input:** * **Title:** "An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants" * **Source:** Hacker News (likely a user-submitted link or comment). * **Article Text:** The prompt repeats the title as "Article Text". * **Crucial Realization:** I do not have the actual content of the article. The prompt *only* gives me the title. The title is an accusation against Grammarly and similar entities, calling them "plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants." * **Problem:** The user asks me to "Add new information beyond the title" but provides *only* the title as the source material. * **Strategy:** I cannot hallucinate the content of a specific open letter based solely on its title. However, based on the title's specific phrasing ("slop merchants") and the context of recent tech discussions (AI scraping, copyright issues), I can infer the likely subject matter. *Wait, looking at the prompt structure again:* The user *may* have made a mistake and pasted the title where the text should be. Or, the "Article Text" is just the title. * **Alternative Interpret

To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a professional writer for decades, even though the number of ways to make money from writing has gone down. I keep going because I love it — I love the challenge of making prose sing, of weaving many interviews into a fascinating chronicle. But it’s hard. So many talented people I know are losing their jobs, making too little money, and turning to other professions to pay their bills. Everything that you are engaged in as a company is part of that. If you don’t believe that, you’re being willfully obtuse. The number of ways in which firms like yours disrespect writers and other creative people are endless. And you require us — the people harmed — to put brakes on the harmful things YOU are doing, not just to us but to entire creative professions. The latest idiocy is your attempt to steal people’s identities and use individuals — including me — as your expert reviewers of writing. Have you ever been in a schoolroom with young children? Have you ever raised young children yourself? If so, you know they are taught not to hit or hurt other bodies, and not to verbally or in any other way harm or steal from others. These are basic things children learn at a very young age. You do not get to say that you don’t understand these very basic issues of autonomy, respect and self-control. You. Do. Not. I do not want to hear even the slightest amount of bullshit about how you didn’t need to ask for permission to use our names and use our identities in your review function. You just wanted to steal, so you stole. You wanted to take things without permission, so you did. It’s wrong. It’s so enragingly wrong. I hope everyone in the world stops using your service. Because a business built on theft is not a business, it’s a scam. I began writing professionally in the early ’90s. I have built a name for myself for decades, at various respected publications and through a best-selling nonfiction book. People know who I am through social media, and through investigative stories, reviews, opinion pieces, features and interviews I’ve published. Who I am, what I stand for, my reputation in multiple arenas — all that took years to build. You just take that? You just take my identity? And you do that in an environment where making a living from writing is an ever more precarious proposition? And then you make me take time out of my day to tell you that’s wrong? You know that’s wrong. Of course it is. You just do not care. I am sick to death of this — of the tech industry deciding it can do what it wants without consequences. Everything is a subscription, everything is harder to use and enshittified. Everything is built on something that was stolen or degraded. So-called AI – which is not intelligent at all – is being shoved into everything, and makes nothing better (quite the reverse). “Move fast and break things” now extends to the reputations and identities of respected professionals and creative people. And you have the nerve to presume we should all put up with every outrage, with every act of destruction, with every theft. I don’t. I won’t. I don’t condone this. I don’t condone what Grammarly has done, to myself or anyone being touted as an expert on your site. I don’t condone any of these slop machines stealing people’s work without compensation and filling people’s minds with shitty art or crap writing that is full of inaccuracies. In the rare cases of LLM theft in which compensation will be made to a subset of creative people, it’ll be far too little, too late. Experienced creative people take months or years to create useful, entertaining or illuminating work, through craft, dedication, joy and painstaking labor. You and companies like yours steal that work, watch entire professions get decimated, and then if anyone protests, you disingenuously say, “Oh golly, well, I guess we’ll take your name off the list of people we’re stealing from.” You should all be ashamed. You should be ashamed of where you work. Not just Grammarly or Superhuman or whatever comically dumb name you come up with next. Almost everyone running tech firms, most people in positions of responsibility, pretty much every C-suite type — congrats, you’re all making the world a worse place. People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next. There are people in tech who want to do good, but they’re consistently outvoted or stampeded by selfish hucksters and thieves. What the vast majority of those with power are doing or enabling is shamefully disrespectful and destructive. Everyone hyping and shilling for all this? You shouldn’t be proud of making people dumber or stealing from people. Because LLMs and the whole AI hype machine — it’s just idiocy, plagiarism, g
