Thank you very much for writing this! We’ve integrated Pangram into Manifund, as a flag and visibility filter on projects; on net it’s been very helpful due to the volume of low-quality AI submissions we get through the site. However, I am sympathetic eg to your example of a non-native speaker using AI to get their points across. Recently, I had a back and forth with a Chinese-speaking student on Manifund who started with an AI writing proposal which put me off, but I eventually decided to give him a small grant after more dialogue.
I appreciate your headline statement that Pangram’s 99.9% accuracy is overstated as well, that was a useful update.
(Disclaimer, I’ve also recently made a minor ($10k) personal investment into Pangram.)
