First pre-2020 long-form writing detected as 100% AI by Pangram

Pangram co-founder Max Spero reported on X that the AI-detection company recorded its first long-form false positive on text written before 2020, flagging a 2006 poem in which the same six words are repeated four thousand times as 100% AI-generated. The detection error shows that highly repetitive human writing can be misclassified by AI-text detectors.
