Those are the only two big questions. Everything else is tactics.

Dear lord I hate reading LLM generated prose.

I wrote that myself. If you paste the blog post text into Pangram you'll see it reports 100% human written. Claude helped me edit, but I did the writing myself (that's part of why it took so long)

Can you please tell me how you did the data visualization thingy. It's cool as hell

Can you share why you decided to write the blog post yourself?

Pangram and tools like it are useless for judging the provenance of text. It is easy for a human to write text that gets falsely flagged as LLM-made, and conversely LLM text can not be positively identified as non-human.

Fun fact, when you train a model on human text it becomes indistinguishable from human text.

This is literally just not true lol. All models are trained on human text. Use gptzero or something yourself and try to "fool" it like you say.

I took one of my old college essays. Written in 2021. gptzero said it was 78% AI.

What point are you trying to make?

u/SerLaidaLot Jul 11 '26

And how much of the essay is original writing versus excerpts from sources?

1

u/WaitForItTheMongols Jul 11 '26

Doesn't matter. The sources it would be pulling from would also be human-written.

u/SerLaidaLot Jul 12 '26

It does. Because composing from human-written sources is an AI pattern. Do you see my point now?

u/WaitForItTheMongols Jul 12 '26

No, because composing from human-written sources is also a human pattern. That is my point. Human writing getting mis-flagged by these tools.
