AI detector Pangram has near-zero false positives, yet faces a coordinated doubt campaign
BecauseCulture · x · 2026-10-23
The author argues two things can be true at once: Pangram is a tool, not a policy, and independent testing puts its false-positive rate near zero; yet AI detection gets socially weaponized because it exposes what people assumed was undetectable, in a space where attribution norms are unsettled. He adds that a coordinated campaign seems to be injecting doubt about detection accuracy to preserve plausible deniability when work gets flagged.
