> Pangram is the only reliable way to check if something is written by AI

That's hilariously wrong. This has to be an astroturf ad for their product. It's not even subtle.

I don't understand why people keep insisting Pangram is so accurate. It's easy to check by throwing it against some old college essays or newspaper column. It might get it right most of the time but false positives abound.

That said, if I had to place a bet, I'd bet that the author is right that the Messi essay is at least partially AI-generated.
