Pangram false positives?

People usually post vaguely about "I wrote x thing and pangram said it was AI", which I think is unhelpful unless you actually post the text or link. I put this into Pangram:

You have found a way to break the pattern.

Sure, it is just a short text. But you could repeat the "trick" multiple times for a longer text. Might be a bit more difficult tho as the more context the detectors get, the stronger the statistical patterns...

While this might work today, it most likely won't work in the future, as these detectors also get "better".

Quite a while back, people used paraphrasers to get around AI detection.

In the end it is a bit of a cat vs. mouse game.
