Substack adds an AI detector to help spot blogs written by no one

Substack is introducing an AI detection tool in partnership with Pangram to help users identify content that may have been written or assisted by AI. This feature will scan posts, notes, replies, and comments, aiming to increase transparency and ensure readers understand the authorship behind the content they consume. The goal is to build trust and support writers by clearly indicating human vs. AI involvement, preventing a ‘race to the bottom’ on platforms prioritizing inauthentic content.
