- The article claims that significant portions of Pope Leo's encyclical on AI, 'Magnifica Humanitas,' were written by AI, particularly Anthropic's Claude.
- Key evidence includes statistical analysis of AI writing 'tells,' such as frequent use of em-dashes, the word 'genuinely,' and tricolons, which are more prevalent in this encyclical compared to past ones.
- Pangram, an AI detector with a low false-positive rate, flagged some paragraphs as 40-100% AI, while others appeared 0% AI, suggesting varied AI usage among contributors.
- The AI indicators are preserved in the Italian version, and backtesting shows past encyclicals score 0% on Pangram, even when AI-translated, indicating the signs are not translation artifacts.
- The analysis suggests that some cardinals used AI assistance heavily, while others, including Pope Leo himself, likely did not, based on the uneven distribution of AI-detected sections.
