Yes, tbc all his old stuff and several other online Kenyan essayists from 2019 and before I tested got 0% on Pangram, while all his new stuff gets 100% except for, oddly enough, the latest article[1].
But also even if you don’t trust Pangram[2], you can read it yourself and get a sense. I don’t think the AI usage is subtle here.
Fwiw reading it I think this is a false negative on Pangram. I’m not certain here but the cadence feels LLM-y in a way that is maybe harder for the models to pick up on.
I do trust Pangram, more than my own eyes. I focus on content more than form ;) so don’t have the AI writing detectors many do.
So I’m confused. I trust Pangram so much I suspect it’s not a false negative, and that he’s right about ChatGPT writing like he was taught to, but also using ChatGPT and perhaps defending and deflecting with that claim.
Still not sure it matters. Content over form. Ad machina is valid but weak.
So you ran Pangram on his old stuff and other writing from similarly educated people and it didn’t read as mostly AI?
I’m sure he wrote this more like an LLM; this would happen accidentally if that’s the topic and claim on his mind, and why not do it on purpose?
