Substack has partnered with Pangram to launch a new 'Made with AI' detection feature. It allows readers to scan notes, comments, and posts longer than 100 words to estimate the proportion of text generated or assisted by AI.
A reader recently tested the tool and discovered that a paid newsletter they subscribe to was flagged as 100% AI-generated (suspected to be Claude). This revelation has sparked intense community debates regarding content transparency, creator integrity, and the true value of paid subscriptions.
