This isn't what I'd call "reliable".
I'm also not impressed with their methodology, which is heavily based on Gemini.
That's too many steps removed from anything you'd encounter in the wild. They're not even testing against human-prompted output.
And then they use Gemini again to analyze all the stories. Relying on proprietary cloud models for the core of your analysis is like building on sand.
Next up: AI adapts to evade detection by last week's researchers' detectors.
only 7% of human work got flagged for ai it is reliable though
Dude if my code had an error rate of 7%, my boss would not say that this "good enough".
Percentages are somewhat misleading here. That's around 2 in 25, enough to falsely accuse a student or 2 in a fairly standard classroom for example.
I remember somebody mentioning a quote along the lines of "A 95% success rate sounds good, until you become the 1 in 20 that it kills"
In matters of life and death, the alternative choices are always important to consider...
5% chance of dying vs a 99% chance of living a horrible life of immobility and pain...
We all die eventually.
Getting your degree or being kicked out and banned from your college and still requires to pay back the loans. IS life or death.
It literally can determine the quality of life of a person for the next 30-40 years. If not forever. This is NOT something to take lightly.
That's not good enough. Just a thought experiment: Only 7% of humans died because their work got flagged incorrectly
this is just spherical cow fallacy combined with purity culture slop
no methodology is perfect, it just needs to be practically valid, using ai != killing people for using ai
unless you are for killing people who use AI, which wouldn't surprise me one bit about Anti-AI horde
Tell that to the student who gets expelled because they're writing was falsely identified as AI and then takes their own life.
Tell that to the person falsely identified with facial recognition and is arrested and loses their job.
Using AI to detect AI is as bad as using AI for any important decision.
This isn't hypothetical. It happens. People will lose their livelihood or die because of it. 7 in 100 is not accurate enough when any penalty is applied to detection.
The key is for the detector to be the screener, innocent until proven guilty, and a screener tool with 7% failure rate is not proof.
Back when I was in Uni poor grades were considered a lifelong sentence to poverty...
To be fair it still is. It's even worse if your expelled and have to pay back the loan any ways.
