Please, I couldn't care what Pangram (or any other "detector") says. If it feels like AI, does it even matter if LLM was co-author? It lands in the same "bad writing, I won't continue to read that" category.

That said I am recently getting paranoid about YT videos, I hear Claude traces in every 5th script. If people are going to spend substantial time recording and editing, is it worth "saving" time on most important part?

"it's not just ...., it's ..." is in EVERY youtube video I watch. There's got to be a reason AI uses it so much. Maybe it was already prevalent in bad scripts and we never noticed it before. Sort of like the "Webster dictionary defines ... as " cliche.

An antithesis is a completely valid stylistic device. It's just very easy to overuse or to use as a cliché when you're not using language as a tool for a specific purpose, but just want to sound smart or think "fancy stylistic devices = good writing".
