Derek Thompson on AI Writing Rise to 40 Percent

Derek Thompson posted a tweet announcing the podcast episode and transcript titled PANGRAM VS THE MACHINE. The post states that since 2022 the share of English-language webpages partly or entirely written by AI rose from roughly 1 percent to nearly 40 percent. Thompson describes AI writing as a tsunami of sludge reaching high school essays, Twitter, and LinkedIn longposts. The generated headline in the post refers to a Pangram CEO explaining an AI detector amid rising machine content.
