Earlier this year, WIRED asked AI detection startup Pangram Labs to analyze Medium. It took a sampling of 274,466 recent posts over a six week period and estimated that over 47 percent were likely AI-generated. “This is a couple orders of magnitude more than what I see on the rest of the internet,” says Pangram CEO Max Spero. (The company’s analysis of one day of global news sites this summer found 7 percent as likely AI-generated.)

In 2018, 3.4 percent were estimated as likely AI-generated.

For 2024, with a sampling of 473 articles published this year, it suspected that just over 40 percent were likely AI-generated.

My numbers were from the Originality AI part.

@Black616Angel yes, I’ve realized that and corrected my post while you responded 😉

Maybe the blurb was AI-generated? 🤦🏻‍♂️

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
