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.
As I just wrote elsewhere - that "lifelong sentence to poverty" was, largely, a misconception of the world held by children who haven't experienced how things actually work in larger society - only listened to what the academic keepers of paper titles have told them.
