Pangram seems to consider the text to be partially AI generated, is that true?

Whether this is good or bad is up to everyone but this kind of information would be worth mentioning.

Stop using Pangram? Obvious answer.

I only use it when I have a gut feeling. I don't want to read stuff people did not write and am not alone in this.

Pangram is actually quite accurate apparently: https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2026/09/05/the-revolt-of-the-reader/

But, in the end, since errors are possible we should give the author the benefit of the doubt, which is why I just asked in my comment. After all, if one thinks using LLM for writing is okay, they should disclose it. No need for detectors then.

Why disclose something that's the norm?
