AI Detection Can't Measure Meaning: What It Actually Sees

I sit down with Substack co-founder and CEO Chris Best for a wide-ranging conversation about AI slop, what it does to the public square, and how writers can use powerful tools without outsourcing their judgment.We discuss Pangram's finding that roughly 40% of long-form writing on LinkedIn was fully AI-generated, why low-intent automation behaves like a denial-of-service attack on online communities, and what Substack is doing to add transparency without policing creators' tools.The conversation also covers thin versus thick wrappers around AI, proof of work, Claude-fishing, the future of video, and why human attention may be the last truly scarce resource.Chris Best: https://cb.substack.com Nate Jones: https://natesnewsletter.substack.com Hosted on Acast.
