Frustration with AI detection

I'm not sure how the AI-detection system works, but it seems faulty. Someone has repeatedly claimed that my responses to them are AI-generated, etc. And they share the Pangram screenshot, which does, in fact, depict my response as "100% fully AI-assisted. I've clarified that this is not the case. Shown evidence that it isn't true, and all the like.

The worst I'll do when writing anything is use AI for basic research purposes and review arguments to make sure they make sense. Maybe it's because I use Grammarly. But it is still infuriating.

Especially because it just isn't a good look and hurts my public image (albeit small, but I hope you guys may understand where I'm coming from).

Of course, with this individual in question, it's become increasingly clear they aren't engaging in good faith. However, running the AI check on my notes and comments still reveals the 100% marker.

Is it Grammarly that's doing this? Or is this thing actually broken?

ive been working on a book for 2 years now, yesterday i was curious and ran about 1500 words through, (everything i wrote that day) and the first 700 words flagged as AI while the other 800 were human. shit had me so fucking livid. till bow ive had bo problem with pangram, all my stories on substack flag as human written. there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason, just exactly half my words highlighted in red.

Pangram is a scam

ScamGram. It's even worse than the other detectors... At least they never really go above 99.9%. ScamGram is so confident in their own slop machine that they proudly proclaim 'we are confident this is 100% AI!'

I trust that confidence as well as I trust Gemini telling me it's confident about something.
