If your pets had theme songs, what would they be? My cat (RIP) probably would have been Flight of the Valkyries. Bill (dog) might be something by Primus or maybe the theme tune to the Catdog animated series.

Though Pangram is one of many A.I. detectors that have hit the market in recent years, the product stands out for how it excels at distinguishing chatbot-generated words from human writing, our columnist Brian X. Chen writes. Here’s what you need to know about how it works.

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.
