I just think it's absurd why are they selling AI if they are also selling AI detectors... And then punishing people for unreliable score.

Lol yeah. It’s a circular problem. It’s okay, we don’t have to play those games.

Exactly the machine may read ai because you edited.

I’ve thought about this deeply and I’m convinced Pangram is at best a fad that will soon fade away or at worse, pure noise. Accountants use calculators but it doesn’t mean they are not responsible or knowledgeable about what truly matters when they do your taxes. Sure taking a 30 minute walk has its health benefits, but insisting on walking to work rather than driving and getting to work late impresses only your health app and definitely not your boss. I get the argument for using AI for creative writing and for me that’s where I draw the line. If I want to read a fiction novel, AI use to write such a novel should better be minimal, if however, I want to read an article that helps me implement a stochastic moving average trend oscillator to use in my trading, I really do not care how much AI is used to write such article. I care more about the strategy being sound and implementation details being accurate - which invariable means, a human with skills, knowledge and experience, drove that AI to produce those results, just as I would drive my car from home to work because I know the route…

Yeah, very well said. AI application to writing is subjective. It depends on the author, depends on the topic, depends on the audience and their expectations. There’s no ONE measurement of whether writing is good or bad, because it’s so full of context it’s impossible. The way people talk about AI in writing, the majority pulls you to both extreme ends: pure good, or pure bad. When in reality, it’s heavily contextual, like you said.
