# AI Detection with Max Spero > Source: > Published: 2026-09-03 15:37:32+00:00 More and more, people are relying on AI to do their writing for them. Is this the new normal, or the intellectual equivalent of claiming take-out is your own home cooking? Max Spero, founder and CEO of Pangram, joined Bryan and Adam to discuss how they distinguish AI and human authorship. In addition to [Bryan Cantrill](https://bsky.app/profile/bcantrill.bsky.social) and [Adam Leventhal](https://bsky.app/profile/ahl.bsky.social), our special guest was [Max Spero](https://bsky.app/profile/max.pangram.com). Previously, on Oxide and Friends: Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them: If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
