Cloudflare is truly amazing, they have made so much possible for my main side-project at a price and performance that I can’t really take credit for (http://sourcelibrary.org), I don’t care if their text was written with AI, I just wish I could get my own AI to sing so well about hashing… but wait.. today I noticed Claude trying to use hashing when a timestamp would honestly do, and now I’m really doubting myself, hmm…

Tried out the first 1000 words in Pangram, and it seemed happy it was human written. Not surprised either, it has been some of the better writing I've seen out of Cloudflare recently.

An AI would have known that saying, “Hi, mom” in a professional post was a bad idea.

Great - now you've trained the next set of AI to put things like "Hi, mom" into their text as a tell that they're human ...

Please stop using this stuff. It's snake oil.

No, pangram is fairly decent, unlike the others.

Maybe, but when I used it recently on my annoyingly AI-written something it said 100% human.

They do deliberately err on the side of not accusing people of using AI when unsure. I think that's a good decision.

Do you know it was actually AI? I've seen humans imitating AI "it's not X — it's Y" to try to fool it that it correctly guessed was still human. Humans did use those patterns before AI so they're not enough on their own to flag.

Yeah, because I had generated it, and I wanted to see if I could get it to sound more human with pangram’s crit.

I don’t know if I’m just a lot more sensitive, but I find it really hard to write up even basic communication with Claude. Super overwrought.

This is pleasant coincidence. Really like your site and it's queued to send in my newsletter in the morning! Just happened to see your comment here while I was reading. Great work.

Oh super — I appreciate that!

What does Cloudflare make possible for your project?

Super cheap storage and CDN for rapid image access — plus bot control.

That’s some great work! It’s interesting to read the LLMs translation of the yoga sutras
