Google researcher slams Pangram: AI detector 'monetizes anxiety' with false certainty
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-24
Google researcher Peyman Milanfar criticized AI text detector Pangram: people treat it as an infallible oracle and weaponize its probabilities to shame others, yet for nuanced writing it can't distinguish human-written-then-AI-edited text from fully generated text. rohanpaulai highlighted the irony: the same crowd that says never trust a model's output unchecked treats detector output as final word. Milanfar argues Pangram monetizes anxiety about AI rather than protecting creative integrity, selling false binary certainty to those ignoring probabilities.
