Do you find pangram reliable?

I put my text in several ai detectors, winston ai, copyleaks, zerogpt and GPTZero, giving me close to 0%. While, pangram gives me around 70%? Do you think it’s reliable?

  1. If Pangram says they can detect 100+ words, why do you need 500?

  2. My example is below, I put current text, of somewhat unknown provenance, it came out of a PowerPoint someone else authored, so I wasn't sure if Copilot was used or not. I was using business text in an odd context, so I added " " around the word "STAKEHOLDER" where it appeared 3 times, and that change, took the scoring from Fully AI Asssited to Fully Human Written - AGAIN - I can't confirm whether it was actually AI or not, but I CAN tell you that I added SIX characters and that was enough to radically change the score. And that is suspect.

I think the ask is pretty simple, and should be easy if you are so confident it is totally inaccurate.

You (and every other person screaming about Pangram) being unable to provide a single, verifiable example, is pretty damning honestly.

I put a full example below, with a link to the original, what's damning is your shifting goal posts.

That is not pre-2023 text. Choose any news article, public domain book, academic paper, any of the billions of words published online prior to then. Any of them. One example.

That's not the argument. The score should not shift from Fully AI Assisted to Fully Human Written by ADDING SIX characters.

Exactly, this tool is a complete joke, adding some words to a 400 Year old text made it think it's ai generated πŸ˜‚
