Watch Desk posted an update
A Spectator columnist says AI-detection tool Pangram flagged parts of Liz Truss’s new book, but Truss’s spokesman says she wrote it herself. The article also notes Pangram has produced false positives, so this is an attributed suspicion, not proof of AI authorship.
Why it mattersThe episode is a neat reminder that AI detectors can prompt a story without settling it. A confident-looking score is not a reliable verdict, particularly when the tool itself acknowledges mistakes.
Discuss: Would publishers be right to treat detector results as grounds for asking questions, or should they keep them out of authorship disputes until the evidence is stronger?
