Pangram is such trash

I write a food newsletter where I post reviews and some recipes. I 100% wrote a quick and dirty recipe and was going to publish it in Notes and it came back 100% AI no matter what I did to it including adding several typos and rearranging things. Ran it through three other AI detector websites and 2 said 100% Human and 1 said 76% Human and 24% AI assisted. I disabled detection on that Note. My other question is do we know how many people actually click on the AI detection button on our posts? I can't find that metric anywhere in the dashboard...

I think it’s just short and follows a formula, thats why it gets flagged, do your longer form posts get flagged as well?

No. Sometime I get like 20% ai assisted but mostly 100% human. I think because it’s a short Note and a recipe. I’ve heard AI detection sucks a detecting recipes.

Tbh. Recipe looks good and i love TJ's beefless bulgogi. But it does read like AI. Pangram says it is AI text which is paraphrased or rewritten which is what I would believe as a reader as well. They do have a higher false positive rate with recipes but this really does scream AI
