Unpublished Balzac manuscript flagged 100% AI-generated by Pangram detector
JFPuget · x · 2026-09-23
A user fed Pangram, an AI text detector, a passage from Balzac's manuscript of Le Lys dans la vallée that was cut before the first edition and never published—so it could not exist anywhere online. Pangram declared it 100% AI-generated. The user has emailed the team with evidence. The commenter's broader point: Pangram isn't reliable, but as everyone repeats that it is, it becomes so in the public eye.
