AI Detector Pangram Flags Unpublished Balzac Manuscript as 100% AI
tak3sh8 · x · 2026-09-23
A French user submitted an unpublished Balzac paragraph (present in the manuscript of Le Lys dans la vallée but absent from all published editions, hence impossible to find online) to AI detector Pangram — it was judged 100% AI-generated. Another user reproduced the false positive with a Victor Hugo text.
The author emailed Pangram with evidence, calling it a "fumisterie" that profits from its unreliable reputation. Another reminder of the risk of AI detectors falsely flagging genuine human classics.
