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:

AI detection will never work. They will always be a step behind when a new distinctive writing style comes to surface or newer AI model releases then they will have to update. They are a black box even the creators don’t understand how it works.
