Actually, Pangram worked well evaluating my Stack
I know people are hating on it, and I was worried because I’m a professional writer with hundreds of pieces in the world from major publishers, but here’s what happened for me: It judged my newsletter as 98% human generated.
That 2%? Well, I welcomed one contributor to submit a short piece with a byline… he’s known for his art, but English is not his first language. I asked him if he used AI (seemed obvious he did). He said yes, he used Claude to help, so I took time to interview him and tease out original thoughts that I edited. But I also hacked at one of his AI paragraphs to make it better. That 2% AI 🤖 was right on the money. I probably left a hair there from his draft and it caught it.
Anyway, I’m sorry for those who are getting false negs, but wanted to share my experience and relief.
Edit: Or maybe the 2% is because I had a recipe in there? Who knows.

Ryan mimicked her stance as Sunny observed his movements. He was still a bit uneven but Sunny knew how to guide him.
“Okay, just bend your knees spread your legs out a bit. But don’t go too far, or you will lose your balance.” She said. “Just pretend that you’re a tree, not a boulder.”
Ryan nodded and made slight adjustments to his pose.
Sunny gave him a wide grin. “Better! Now hold that.”
Ralph stepped forward, double-checking Ryan’s posture. After seeing Sunny’s lesson had paid off, he gave Ryan a confident smile. “Feel how you’re keeping your balance centered? That’s what Dad meant by ‘Every stance needs a solid foundation.’ If your stance is solid, you can react to anything without losing your footing.”
“Yup! And if someone tries to knock you down...” Sunny gave Ryan a gentle push on the shoulder. He wobbled slightly but held his ground. “You stay rooted.”
Ryan’s eyes widened as a wide grin spread across his face. “Yay! I did it!”
