$500 bounty offered for pre-2020 human text flagged as AI by Pangram
gleech · x · 2026-11-13
A $500 reward challenges anyone to find human-written text from before 2020 that Pangram's latest AI detector flags as AI-generated. Requirements: at least 750 consecutive words, flagged as 75%+ AI, proof the text existed in 2019 or earlier (e.g. a Wayback Machine archive link) and is unmodified, and the text must be ostensibly human-written to rule out GPT-2 output, machine translation, markov chains, etc. The bounty is effectively a public stress test of Pangram's false-positive rate.
