Iteratively co-written LLM papers score 33%-92% on Pangram, exposing detector gray zones

Debates about Pangram's reliability focus on false positives, but phl43 highlights false negatives and why they arise. His workflow: iteratively co-write reading notes with GPT and Codex — dictating what to write, flagging issues, requesting targeted revisions. Papers produced this way score 33%-92% AI-generated on Pangram, even though sentence-level production is 100% AI. The gap exposes how ambiguous "AI-generated" is across granularity levels and reinforces his earlier doubts about the detector.
