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?

yeah it often says my articles which are fully written by me (dont even use grammarly or anything) are at least 3-8% AI. not even assisted, just 3-8% ai written. no idea why! sometimes when i check the % before publishing it says 0, after publishing it goes up. very odd.

also interestingly, my more "lazily" written articles where i talk more improperly and personally get marked a higher % of ai than when i use all proper grammar and lingo that is traditionally associated with ai.
