I was reading through the Pope’s new encyclical ( Magnifica Humanitas ) on AI when I noticed a suspiciously high occurrence of em dashes and syntax common to LLM writing (“ It’s not X, it’s Y. Not only is it X, but it’s also Y.” ). A very brief search showed me that two articles noted the same thing: “ Claude, Author of the Humanitas ” and “ Many portions of Magnifica Humanitas appear to be AI-written .” The authors (The Linchpin and Daniel Filan, respectively) went to the trouble of running the encyclical through AI detectors and found many paragraphs to be 40 to 100 percent AI-written. In contrast, The Linchpin ran the first 20 paragraphs of the previous four encyclicals through the same detector (Pangram) and found them to “register as 100% human, all with high confidence.” They also used Pangram on “a transcript of Pope Leo’s speech announcing yesterday’s encyclical. 100% Human on Pangram. This is evidence that Pope Leo himself and/or his primary speechwriter does not use AI to draft his speeches.” I found this simultaneously disappointing and ironic, especially given the encyclical’s topic of the irreplaceability of humanity in the face of AI. submitted by /u/Shantivanam
