AI-detection tool says prize-winning novel is '99% machine-written'
A detector called Pangram found that "Donde el agua trabaja," by Peruvian author David Silva Rojas, was almost entirely generated by artificial intelligence, according to El País. The novel had won a €20,000 prize whose rules explicitly barred AI-assisted work.
According to El País, the detection tool Pangram attributed 99% of the text of "Donde el agua trabaja" to artificial intelligence. The novel, by Peruvian writer David Silva Rojas, had won a literary prize worth 20,000 euros whose rules excluded works written with AI.
El País reports that the publisher has cancelled the book's presentation, which had been scheduled for today in Madrid.
The source material does not specify which prize was involved, when it was awarded, or how Pangram's analysis was conducted. No response from Silva Rojas or from the prize's organizers is included in what El País has published so far.
