Author says Pangram flagged his published books 99% AI; CEO says screenshots faked

AI-text detector Pangram is facing a wave of brazen fraud attacks: a Spanish-language author claimed his novels from major publishers were flagged as 99% AI-generated, joking the AI must have "traveled back in time" to write them.
Screenshots show Pangram CEO Max Spero publicly responding, asking why the poster photoshopped the results page and posting a comparison highlighting tampered details (like cropping out the "mostly AI" wording). The retweeter notes the volume and brazenness of these attacks is staggering — false-positive disputes and anti-detection fraud are escalating together.
