It's AI-written FWIW

though maybe AI is getting to the point it can do stuff like this somewhat decently

The first page says none of the book was written by AI

Yes, it's a false claim

pangram.com, the most accurate and lowest false positive AI detector

Why does this feel like an ad? I've seen pangram mentioned a few times now, always with that tagline. It feels like a marketing department skulking around comments.

The other pangram mention elsewhere in this comment section is also me -- I'm totally unaffiliated with them, just a fan of their tool

I specify the accuracy and false positive rate because otherwise skeptics in comment sections might otherwise think it's one of the plethora of other AI detection tools that don't really work

FWIW I work on AI and I also trust Pangram quite a lot (though exclusively on long-form text spanning at least 4 or more paragraphs). I'm pretty sure the book is heavily AI written.

> Why does this feel like an ad?

Because it’s written like a tagline instead of like a sentence people would say to each other.
