NYU professor Panos Ipeirotis criticizes AI detector Pangram for failing to distinguish AI-generated from AI-edited text while slapping '100% AI' labels that people weaponize to shame writers and wreck careers, hitting vulnerable users hardest. He calls out the founder for dismissing committees that ignore the label. Tyler Harper adds that pro-AI advocates increasingly defend AI use through progressive rhetoric about vulnerable people and ableism.
