Did the Pope use AI to write about the dangers of AI?
An analysis suggests that parts of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, may have been written by AI. The AI detection tool Pangram flagged significant portions of the text as AI-generated, with estimates ranging from 40% to 100%. However, some sections were confirmed to be human-written, highlighting the limitations of AI detection methods.
- ▪Certain paragraphs of Magnifica Humanitas were found to be between 40 percent and 100 percent written by AI.
- ▪The first chapter of the encyclical was flagged as 62 percent AI-generated by Pangram.
- ▪Pangram has a low false positive rate, estimating it to be approximately 1 in 10,000.
