Today we're releasing the Pangram Chrome Extension, which automatically flags AI-generated content as you scroll your feed.
We're sick of having to constantly be on guard for AI slop on social media.
For most of human history, if a piece of writing was grammatical, coherent,
Last week we wrapped up the third Mech Interp Workshop. This iteration, we noticed a lot more "AI slop" submissions, and reviewers complained about low-effort papers. So I decided to analyze the prevalence of AI-generated content at the workshop. (1/n)
AI writing is flooding text-first platforms.
We've all read it. Most of us have written it. Some of us have posted it. And, we certainly all have strong opinions about it.
The funniest and scariest part is that we have reached the point where the costs (in an economic sense

But the distinction between human and AI text has not, according to @pangram
Our test prompts were crowdsourced this time! Let's take a look at how Sol, Luna, and Terra responded
Two months ago, we launched a Chrome extension that flags AI content in your feed. We included an option for users to share anonymized detection data with us.
In that sample, one in every four longform posts was fully AI-generated.

By contrast, Reddit's bot restrictions largely kept AI out of replies. For top-level posts, that strategy wasn't as effective: 11.6% of original posts on Reddit were AI-generated.

In collaboration with Pangram, researchers at the University of Maryland found that even after editing, LLM text remained more similar to AI writing than to human — despite editor's reports that the edited text reflected their voice.
I thought this was such a cool idea I spent $50 on pangram credits going through hundreds of pre-AI Pulitzer/Booker/NBA text samples and it flagged zero of them as AI.
Has anyone found the human writer who predates AI writing, but whose writing is most likely to be flagged as AI by AI detectors, like, just through an accident of prose style? Who is the most AI of the ancient fleshscribes???
