Opposition to generative AI is *everywhere*, but AI propaganda doesn’t want you to know that. The vast majority of people want human art, not AI counterfeits.

As I have reiterated many times before, as someone who actually understands and has worked extensively with language models... it is fundamentally *not possible* to programmatically detect if a work of text is written by AI.

Ellipsus stands against the normalization of generative AI in creative spaces. We are building our tool for the millions of you who share this belief. Real art is always and forever human.

Issues of human authenticity demand human judgment and human means—delegating this to a machine just plays into the hands of Big Tech/AI.

Pangram once again being weaponized to damage careers without checks or balances 🤦 This is a very harmful trend for writers. AI verifiers should *not* be allowed to decide questions of human authorship (especially when their errors and biases are so well documented!) shorturl.at/lLBiy

An anonymous account called Balance ton Claude – a reference to Anthropic’s AI agent – said it had fed the novel into the AI detection software Pangram and found it to be “almost entirely” written by artificial intelligence.

Questions have been raised over Pangram’s accuracy, and French media outlets have found other AI detection programmes that identified It Was That or Die as very probably written by a human.

Orélien, 38, has denied the allegation, saying it was racially motivated. “I’ve always loved creating and writing,” he said. “I don’t see why I would use a machine.”

He told the newspaper Libération that he used traditional language and rhythms that were Haitian and Caribbean. “The imagery, repetition and rhythm are a living language, they are mine.”

OK. @ellipsus.com is cool. Importing all those google docs won't be much fun. Or at least, it'll be a bit slow going. But likely worth it in the end. It's a commitment, a bet, an investment of sorts into this hobby. For a lifelong writer, it's about time.

The feeling when a verifier erroneously flags your writing as AI… Infuriating? Absurd? All of the above? This article perfectly captures *that* feeling. sohbae.substack.com/p/i-ran-some...

Who am I to point fingers simply because a wonky AI detector says some of my favorite reads were AI-generated? As you already know , curiosity killed the cat (me), so I ran my very own article through ZeroGPT, maybe to prove a point. A part of me already concluded that my results would be different because maybe these writers used AI to write; I could not be too sure. Guess what the results said? Drum roll please...68.3% human-written and 31.7 AI-written. I stared at those results, wondering where I had gone wrong in life.

AI written????

The future for AI verifiers not looking too bright 😬 www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Pangram can be easily fooled by “humanizer” tools that introduce grammatical and stylistic quirks to evade detection. (Yes, this is dizzying: AI that makes your AI writing seem less AI, to escape other AI.) A non-native English speaker who writes their own essay but then runs it through Grammarly, the writing software with AI-powered editing features, might be more likely to get in trouble than a student who let ChatGPT do all the work and then ran the essay through a humanizer.

When writers face dark times, we stand together. Our demands: - No genAI in writing tools and publishing. - No scraping or feeding work to LLMs. - Protections for human authorship. Emboss is one among a suite of tools we’re designing at Ellipsus to support, advance, and defend human creativity.

Cory Doctorow with the perfect summary of why AI generated content can never be art: Zero imagination. Zero creative novelty. (Extract from his newsletter “Textured”)

With LLMs, we have invented a machine that uncovers the statistical regularities in our seemingly irregular world, and we have learned that the roughness is rarer than our intuition led us to believe. This machine will also produce statistically regular, smooth output that has the seeming of understanding and consciousness. But - by definition - it can't contain any of our future surprises, because it's just trained on the things we already know, and if we knew about something, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore.

"The largest theft of labor in human history." We done knew it. (www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...)

Executives working on AI at Microsoft and OpenAI admitted what its critics have been saying all along: Large language models are predatory pieces of technology that have been built on what a Microsoft executive called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.”

d) by insisting on AI solutions to solve the problems AI causes (slop, diminishing trust, the devaluation of human creativity), AI verifiers seek to strengthen the position of AI and tech billionaires.

Ellipsus @ellipsus.com · 15/09/2026

c) identifying AI writing—if even feasible in the first place—will become impossible, as chatbots learn to produce text that is statistically and stylistically indistinguishable from human writing(s).

b) detectors regularly return false positives and negatives (see our blog post for a plethora of examples), further stoking a culture of uncertainty and distrust.

Four reasons why AI verifiers are harmful for writers: a) they’re built from many of the same resources as LLMs (including plagiarized work). AI verifiers *are* AI. ⬇️⬇️

Find yourself railing against AI verifiers over dinner? Us too (🙈) Our latest blog post lays out the the conceits and pitfalls of AI verifiers in exhaustive detail, so you can complain with confidence 💁‍♀️ Full post: ellipsus.com/blog/the-pro...

“The culture emerging in many writing spaces today is a culture of suspicion. We’ve all heard these stories, and it goes without saying that having one's work flagged as AI carries major consequences. There’s a sense of dread from many writers worrying about posting work online at all, in the assumption that someone, somewhere, will get suspicious of an em dash or well-placed adverb. And many are changing their styles, honed over many years and deeply entwined with their voice and their personhood, the closest thing a writer has to a fingerprint—to fit within the confines of a verifier’s assumption.”
