#032 - Novels and proofs: who gets the last word? | SynthAIcast
One single sentence written by AI, slipped into a prize-winning novel. Who would have noticed? And who would have had the right to judge it?
This autumn, France's most famous literary prize asked a piece of software for its opinion on the novels in the running. The day after the award, one revelation reshuffled the deck.
Three mathematicians explain, on a long podcast, how they check a machine that knows more than they do, and why the right answer isn't enough for them.
A lab puts in writing who should keep the last word over its models, and admits in the same text what is still missing.
A forgery case from 1945 shows the only proof left when the expert can no longer recognize the author.
In the end, the question is no longer who wrote a text. It's being able to show it, with proof.
Three signals. One thread. One question…
