“Pangram is not an oracle • Buttondown”
https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/pangram-is-not-an-oracle/> But as always, we have to be wary of any proposed technical solutions and evaluate them with care (including asking whether a technical solution is called for at all). This is again one of those cases where machine learning can easily create something that looks like a solution, but isn't, because it's easy to make a machine that gives “scores” for how likely some text is to be synthetic/authentic.
