Pangram's biggest flaw is users turning its scores into public shaming

AITopTools Editorial TeamSeptember 3, 2026

What changed

Pangram has promoted an aggressive social-media campaign against people suspected of using AI to write. Its scoring system can only somewhat reliably detect AI involvement and cannot show whether a text came from a brief prompt or hours of human research and editing.

What this means for you

A Pangram score should not be treated as proof that someone did no original work. Public accusations could unfairly damage users’ reputations, especially when the tool’s results are uncertain.
