NYU professor shows LLM-rewritten tweets get flagged 100% AI while keeping the same argument
ipeirotis · x · 2026-09-06
- Ipeirotis describes an experiment: write a tweet with a real argument, have an LLM rewrite it repeatedly until Pangram scores it "100% AI" — without changing the argument at all.
- He mocks critics who outsource their reading to AI detectors and shout "slop" instead of engaging with the content: "the slop is inside your skull."
- He invokes Trithemius's In Praise of Scribes (1492): people have debated for 500 years whether a text's value lies in the fingers that typed it.
