That article is a giant PR puff piece for an AI detection company. Nature ought to know better and should be ashamed of itself.
That’s not to say initial accusation isn’t credible; it certainly is!
But…just look at this reporting. Note how •completely• credulous it is about the accuracy of Pangram’s product.

Junge Menschen lesen weniger, denn warum sollten sie auch? Für viele Zwecke braucht es das gar nicht mehr. Sogar wenn man schreiben möchte, kann man Nachrichten diktieren. Aber wenn man etwas sagen will, schickt man eine Audio oder ein Video. Wenn man was wissen will oder sich berieseln lassen will, fragt man eine KI oder hört einen Podcast. Die Tiktok-Trap. Das ist der neue Modus. | Ralf Heimann | #Altpapier

It's gonna be interesting to see how Ed Zitron's popularity will develop after that Wired article.
Most people will probably be pissed off about him doing PR for AI companies but I think the more relevant part is that his analysis is kinda ... shallow? Like he fully lives in "the computer is the machine that generates social progress" camp. Which ... doesn't hold too much water.
Which doesn't mean that he's not doing some good work digging through t…

The headline should be: ❝AI vendor’s AI-generated analysis claims AI generated reviews for AI-generated papers at AI conference❞
To be clear, I give great credence to the claims of the humans in the article who thought they’d received an AI-generated review. I bet •they’re• correct. It’s Nature I’m coming after here.
A journalistic institution would investigate that claim, track down the reviewer in question, get to the bottom of the story. A PR outlet would just repeat some vendor’s product claims as fact and click “publish.”
Which one is Nature?

You asked AI and did exactly what it told you to do. It seemed to work, but nobody knows why. The Claude giveth and the Claude taketh away.
You mutter about software stacks written with AI that have grown too complex to understand in the estimated time on the ticket, as you push the branch and raise the PR.
The reviewer will use AI to check it, and the QA team will surely do some coverage tests. Nothing gets by them and their fancy AI tooling.
