The post argues that news organizations should use AI detectors, or at least have someone familiar with them preread articles before publication.
Main point
- The author says the linked article is not bad overall.
- But some sections are “obviously AI-written,” and they suggest checking with Pangram.
- They recommend a human AI-aware preread as a practical safeguard.
Supporting example
- The image shows a Pangram scan of a New York Times guest essay.
- Pangram flags the text as mixed AI and human writing.
- The screenshot also highlights scattered AI-generated patches in the article.
Opinion cited
- The poster says they like Tyler Cowen’s rule: linking to raw AI output instead of pretending he wrote it.
