Caine Prize investigated its AI-controversy winner — and exposed detector blind spots
paulnovosad · x · 2026-11-12
The Caine Prize published a transparent account of how it probed claims that this year's winning story was AI-generated. Author paulnovasod stresses it relied on "multiple lines of evidence, not a single score." The accompanying analysis shows a detector defined as "differs from X" cannot see a target that IS X — three faithful masks answered their own predicates yet none found the lens itself, illustrating how models print confident answers to questions their vocabulary can't ask.
