Award-winning Haitian-Canadian novel flags as 100% AI on Pangram detector
Afinetheorem · x · 2026-09-22
A user ran selections from the Haitian-Canadian novel C'était ça ou mourir — currently winning nearly every French literary award and tipped to be the second Canadian winner of the Prix Goncourt — through the AI detector Pangram, and every selection came back 100% AI-generated.
The poster says they've never seen false positives cluster this frequently on selections this unlikely, concluding sarcastically that AI apparently can write Pulitzer-level work. (Detector result only, not confirmed.)
