Anthropic researcher Peyman Milanfar's essay 'The Survival of Talent' was flagged by AI detector Pangram as 92% AI-generated despite being human-written. Milanfar called out the tool: detectors treat probabilities as certainty, can't distinguish human-drafted-AI-edited text from AI-generated-then-humanized text, and Pangram 'monetizes people's anxiety about AI.' Another concrete case against AI detection reliability.
