Award-winning novelist's denial letter gets flagged 89% AI by detector Pangram
TuhinChakr · x · 2026-10-28
Spanish novelist David Silva Rojas published a public letter denying AI authorship of his prize-winning novel Donde el agua trabaja — and AI detector Pangram 4.1 flagged the letter itself as 89% AI-generated (11% human across 461 words), noting a "human-written opening, mostly AI after." Observers joke they hope El País never runs the letter through a detector, and call on publisher Almadía to conduct a full review. A showcase of AI-detector unreliability colliding with a literary prize integrity row.
