"Balance ton Claude" Drama: French Backlash Questions AI Detector Pangram's Reliability
JFPuget · x · 2026-09-25
The "Balance ton Claude" project revealed that the French bestseller "C'était ça ou mourir" was likely largely AI-written, sparking a fight over the reliability of AI detector Pangram.
JFPuget pushed back on claims that French media rigorously vetted the tool: there is no independent publication validating Pangram's reliability on French texts it hasn't seen—"none." He also notes Pangram can't distinguish fully AI-written text from AI-polished text, and banning AI-assisted editing would mean banning grammar checkers too.
