    This isn't the first high profile case of a black person being reported with accusations of using AI this year[^1][^2]. Once or twice, sure, whatever. But a third time now? It's hard to think this isn't anything but targeted, especially given this particular case the group making the "claims" are entirely anonymous.

    Anyway, here&#x27;s the thread from twitter if people are interested: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;Pangramed&#x2F;status&#x2F;2102383484027171306?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;Pangramed&#x2F;status&#x2F;2102383484027171306?s=20

        “It was just a coincidence that most American slaves were black”

        I don’t think anyone is saying skin color conveys immunity from accusation. But I hope you can see that the odds that a dramatically higher per capita rate of accusations against people with a particular skin color should at least give pause.
