My VC's paste from ChatGPT. That's when I knew.

There’s the right way to paste text into an email draft from GPT.

And then there’s the wrong way.

Late 2024. Respectfully but candidly, I received an email reply from a very senior member at one of our institutional VC fund investors that was the wrong way.

Mismatched text style, ‘single quotation marks’ around a phrase, company name Miscapitalized. No question. This was a ChatGPT paste job (for a serious topic) that shouldn’t have been.

That’s when I knew SwayID’s value proposition would remain essential and enduring.

Why?

Because that moment showed me something critical: in the post-ChatGPT world, we will forever be able to count on on people using AI the wrong way. And if the .00001% classes are doing it today, we can certainly count on the masses doing it “yesterday.”

The problem is rampant and URGENT.

If the venture capital elite can falter with something so basic, imagine the risks when it comes to publishing deceptive influencer posts (which are now illegal at the federal level with brands, agencies, and influencers freshly held responsible with $43k fines per violation effective October 2024).

With AI-powered content from AI Avatar UGC videos to deepfake endorsements flooding the social media advertising world, the compounding risk that influencer posts, testimonials, and UGC that violate compliance laws—like misleading or deceptive endorsements—will slip through the cracks and kill businesses is absolute.

(Unless they use solutions like SwayID’s UGC Compliance Checker & Corrector Tool that checks for potential violations in real-time and suggests corrections before content gets published PLUS produces an audit-ready documentation trail along the way.
