Pangram is wrong.

The text does not have any of the superfluous words typical for Claude/OpenAI talk.

It is written like an answer to "Explain to me like I am 5", but it contains appropriate information for such a context.

Only towards the end of the article, there are some signs that indicate AI editing, like a too frequent use of the word "simply", e.g.:

> "The one-clock-cycle delay introduced by an RDIMM is not simply a penalty. It results from pipelining the memory interface. "

This would have been better just: "The one-clock-cycle delay introduced by an RDIMM results from pipelining the memory interface."

Overall, it seems that the AI contribution was minimal.

The problem is that for scientific/technical texts it will always be impossible to determine whether they are written by a human or by an AI, in the case when they are correct.

For now, we detect easily the AI generated texts even for scientific/technical information only because they are bad, by including a lot of non-necessary words or by making unexpected mistakes. When the AI-generated text describing some scientific/technical fact will be flawless, it will not be distinguishable from what a competent human will say about the same content.

TFA might have been 100% AI-generated, but in that case it was a better AI than what has generated the immense quantity of slop that I have seen on the Internet lately, which is very easily recognizable as AI-generated, after reading just a few sentences, unlike the article linked by this thread.

What is absolutely certain is that about the first 100 words of TFA it is impossible to distinguish whether they have been written by a human or by a very good AI. If Pangram says that it is 100% confident that it was an AI, that is proof that Pangram is an 100% unreliable tool, so anyone who uses it makes a big mistake.
