I've never seen a false positive from Pangram for human-written text of 300+ words.

People sometimes tell lies on the internet. This is definitely AI-generated.

Pangram sucks by seeding fear.

Say more? I’ve found it quite useful and not a source of fear. It’s effective at calling out disrespect (human to human communication where one party stops participating as a human), and has been effective for me in writing my own communications more crisply and carefully

Fear of being tagged as AI even if you write the text yourself.

For me personally, it's fear to use – and —. I have my versions of XKB keyboard layouts that handily map these but I don't use them anymore. Nor do I use emoji, because some 18-6 months ago AU output abused emoji.

I honestly don’t think those are going to get you flagged as mostly-AI or with high confidence. On anything longer than a sentence I’ve found the false positive rate to be perfectly reasonable.
