ipeirotis · x · 2026-10-17
ipeirotis argues that while others fixate on AI's "it's not X, it's Y" phrasing, the real tell of unreviewed AI writing is LaTeX artifacts like "tion 5." or "Q." occupying an entire line (screenshots highlighted in a paper). He says this beats a 100% Pangram score as a detection signal, quipping that AGI talk can resume when GPT-7 fixes this on its own.
