- Afinetheorem offered $1000 to charity for a single pre-2022 literary French text (1000+ words, Internet Archive link) detected as 100% AI by Pangram.
- With 30k views, nobody has claimed it. He argues critics claiming detectors are biased against literary styles, Caribbean writers, or metaphors have failed to produce even one verifiable false positive.
- Context: ongoing debate over whether a French AI novel can be reliably detected, pitting "detection is impossible/biased" against demands for empirical evidence.
