AI detector Pangram keeps flagging human prose over Oxford commas, user says it's "just vibes"
aronchick · x · 2026-09-04
Developer aronchick vents that Pangram repeatedly flags his entirely human-written pages as AI, seemingly because he follows standard writing practices like the rule of three and Oxford commas. Worse, the tool gives zero guidance on where or why text was flagged, leaving him no way to revise — "it's just vibes," he concludes. The complaint highlights a familiar flaw of AI detectors: judging by stylistic surface features and punishing polished human writing, with no explainability.
