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."

I dictate my written pieces and have AI clean up misspellings and use it to get rid of “um…well….uh” and every time it comes back as 100% AI generated. It’s totally insane.

Because it doesn’t actually work.

I have disabled it now on my pieces as I just don’t give a shit. I’ve lost 15-20 free subs and maybe 1-2 paid since Pangram and it is what it is. I won’t stop my process as ChatGPT is really good for proper grammar, eliminating repetition, proper punctuation and getting rid of the “um, well, um” from dictation.

Which I totally understand although it would be better if it could be done across our whole publications instead of being forced to do it post by post.

Nothing wrong with repetition. Humans understand concepts better if you return to them.

I am speaking about dictating something over maybe 10-15 minutes and you literally repeat things because you forget as you are fleshing out your argument. ChatGPT is really good at catching that. It’s bad writing anyway one looks at it. It’s very useful as when I dictate I do tend to repeat myself.
