TuhinChakr · x · 2026-11-07
In The Argument, Kelsey Piper critiques Wired's recent hit piece on AI detector Pangram, citing high-quality independent research showing it is accurate with few false positives. She argues the core anti-Pangram constituency is 'phony writers' who use AI to ghostwrite their posts and resent exposure—the same people who hate AI slop in theory. Context: the controversy follows Substack's announced Pangram partnership.
