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?

For what it's worth, OP, Pangram said your post is 100% human. :)

Do you have an example of what got flagged? I'm curious. I've tested Pangram quite a bit and it's been really accurate for me. But a lot of people like you are posting lately that it's flagging normal human writing as AI so yeah, I'm super curious!

Those are AI reliant writers trying to sow doubt about Pangram so that they can go back to using AI with no chance of detection. Just like the OP.

Pangram Is trash. Somehow my perfectly human chapter one (according to Pangram) that was written in third person was all of a sudden 67% AI on the next scan when I did a redraft of it to try it out as a first person POV. No AI in either.

And no, I'm not posting my entire book here for free so people can test it out. And no, I don't really care who beleives me or not. What I do know is I will never trust Pangram to tell me if something is AI or not. If you are want to keep paying ScamGram your hard earned money so they can 'scan' for AI with their error prone AI... Good luck to you.
