Pangram's critics keep getting contradicted so easily that every attack becomes viral marketing
lxrjl · x · 2026-10-22
User lxrjl observes an interesting pattern: AI-detection company Pangram's product is frequently and aggressively criticized, but the criticism is so trivially easy to contradict that every example ends up as viral marketing for the company.
He asks whether this is unique — has any other company built a product that so many people love to hate that it markets itself? The thread touches on reverse marketing and the credibility of AI detection tools.
