    TLDR

    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.

    @DKThompNew pod/transcript: PANGRAM VS THE MACHINE Since 2022, the share of English-language webpages that are partly or entirely written by AI has increased from roughly 1 percent to nearly 40 percent. Like a tsunami of sludge, AI writing is inundating everything from high school essays to Twitter and LinkedIn longposts, to Amazon biographies, to the oped pages of the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. The war on AI writing has turned Pangram into a surprising cultural phenomenon, a tool that is also a meme. I wanted to know more about how the company's technology works and how its leaders think about the fact that their invention is becoming an icon of the anti-AI moment. So I spoke with founder and CEO @max_spero_ about: - how Pangram works - why we should trust it - what the technology says about the fundamental differences between machine vs. human writing - whether AI-writing witch hunts are something we should welcome or fear - whether Pangram is at risk of getting displaced by an AI detector from the frontier labs or tech platforms https://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-internet-is-drowning-in-ai-slop
