Pangram Flags Victor Hugo Poem as 100% AI, Sparking Fear of False Accusations in Academia
GolinoHudson · x · 2026-09-23
A researcher reports that Pangram's AI detector flagged his 73-page paper — in which LLMs only polished the abstract and 5-10 sentences — as 63% AI-generated, and even marked a Victor Hugo poem as 100% AI.
He raises an urgent question: if journals and institutions rely on such detectors to evaluate manuscripts, innocent authors risk false accusations of AI misconduct. The post calls for an urgent academic discussion on the reliability of AI detection tools.
