Tim Requarth

I've seen prominent politicians, chief executives, and public intellectuals exposed as AI slop slingers.

As the author Tim Requarth recently reported, the publisher Hachette recently pulled a horror novel after detectors flagged it as substantially AI-generated.

The New York Times fired a book critic who seemed to be using AI, and The Atlantic reported that a modern love column in The Times seemed to be half AI-generated.

Today's guest is Pangram founder and chief executive, Max Spiro.

What do you make of that? Like, what do you make of the fact that even quite sophisticated readers today, according to some seemingly quite good studies, truly cannot tell the difference between AI and human writing?

Look, I, I think the studies are good, but I think they're still looking at these, like, localized, small, short passages of text.

So we're comparing, you know, at most a couple hundred words of AI text versus a couple hundred words of, uh, famous author text.

Mm.
