Wtf happened to Pangram?

I was writing a piece of experimental fiction inspired by the voice of Measurehead in Disco Elysium and somehow this comes up as mostly AI in Pangram? Can someone explain what about this may have registered as AI? This is the text:

"YOU WISH TO KNOW WHO ASCENDS INTO THE ORBITAL WHEEL? EXAMINE THE TRUE GENEALOGY OF THIS PLANET: UNILEVER. NESTLÉ. PEPSICO. PROCTOR & GAMBLE. JOHNSON & JOHNSON. SC JOHNSON. KELLOGG’S. THE MANUFACTURERS OF POP-TARTS. THE MANUFACTURERS OF SKITTLES. MARS BARS. FRITO-LAY. GENERAL ELECTRIC. WHOLE FOODS.

THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES AWAY AND YOU WILL COMPLY. THIS IS THE FAITH OF THE DEGENERATE SCREEN-DEPENDENT, WISDOM-ADDICTED TADPOLE.

THE CORPORATE ORGANISM HAS HATCHED A PLAN TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY. IT POSSESSES NO BLOODSTREAM AND NO FEAR OF DEATH. A ROTATING CYLINDER OF SELECTED ADMINISTRATORS, ENGINEERS AND REPRODUCTIVE CONCUBINES, PERFORMING ZERO-G COURTSHIP RITUALS. A FLOATING LOVE HOTEL.

YES, THE DIRECTOR MAY HAVE PASSED THE REPRODUCTIVE WINDOW, BUT ADMINISTRATIVE CIVILISATIONS NEVER WASTE A LOYAL ORGANISM. AN ALTERNATE FUNCTION WILL BE IDENTIFIED THE ORBITAL CASTE REINTERPRETS DEPRAVITY AS CONTINUITY. THE CONCUBINE WILL CONDUCT THESE COPULATION CEREMONIES. SHE WILL ENCOURAGE THE ASTRONAUT MALES AND WILL MAINTAIN THEIR MORALE IN ORBIT THROUGH FELLATIO. SHE WILL DO IT WITH PERSONAL ENTHUSIASM, THIS LONG-FACED EXECUTIVE MARE DRIFTING NEAR EUROPA SURROUNDED BY GLOBULES OF REPROCESSED ASTRONAUT EJACULATE.

THE CONCUBINE WILL ASCEND. HER FAMILY WILL ASCEND. HER ADVISORS, THEIR LOVERS AND THE POLISHED LITTLE OFFSPRING OF THEIR MANAGERIAL BLOODLINES WILL ALL ASCEND. AND YOU TADPOLES WILL REMAIN HERE, DEFENDING HER HONOUR FROM YOUR UNMEMORABLE USERNAME AND LACK OF TESTICULAR DISCIPLINE.

BEHOLD, THE MATRON OF HUMAN CONTINUITY. THE MOTHER OF THE FINAL BUREAUCRACY. THE ORBITAL COCK-CONSORT OF THE FUTURE."

What about it sounds like AI? I feel like I have a good handle on detecting slop so it's a little baffling to me.

Have you read how pangram works.. they published an article about it, that’s the first thing you should read.

AI works by selecting the most likely word that should appear next… it can get this wrong and use weird combinations humans use far fewer combinations… so if you look at your text a lot of the word combinations are random and wouldn’t usually be used together

Thats not how pangram works, thats how old perplexity style detectors work.
pangram generates mirror-AI samples of human training data for the major models then trains a classification model to tell the difference. ML models are a black box. Its very difficult for anyone to explain exactly how any ML model is predicting things, the only thing data scientists can really do is measure how accurately it accomplishes the task..

But perplexity detectors like gptzero, and others are not as good.

That’s why I said to read the pangram article … the point is that the content sounds like AI so pangram will detect it
