The ones I implemented as a POC test for an educational client had a 98% success rate for detecting AI content. Unfortunately they also had an average 65% false-positive rate.

AI detection software has a long, loooong way to go. But they're already implemented everywhere sadly.

I read this as "person of color" test and was very confused/disturbed for a moment.

Coincidentally one of the documents we fed it was an essay on segregation that was written in 1972. The top AI detection suite reported 83% (iirc) confidence that it was AI generated...

Proof that skynet really did go back in time.

As in it schlorped up the texts from the past to generate the current text.

I can make an AI checker that correctly identifies 100% of AI content!

if (True):

  is_ai_content=True

u/SlugCatBoi 12h ago

func is_ai_content(){ return True }

whoa whoa whoa, modularizing the check into a function? This is feeling pretty AI generated to me.

My company requires functional programming.

They also require I use Claude, but that's unrelated.

Are you a bot? You're legally required to tell me if you're a bot!

u/SlugCatBoi 12h ago

No, I'm not a bot.

Me too! I just set it to "mark everything as AI".

It will literally never get there because all generative ai does is mimic people so inevitably some people will write like ai

AI detection yes, synthID no.

u/shiddedandfarded69 10h ago

Well, the institution is assuming potential offending students know enough to remove the synthID. That's like not wearing a mask when robbing a bank.

u/resurrectedbear 9h ago

How do they remove the synthid? Isn’t it baked into the image?

u/shiddedandfarded69 9h ago

I was speaking of AI generated text. There's tools out there that change the text to remove the word pattern scheme. Or the student can just change some of the wording themselves by just adopting synonyms.

u/resurrectedbear 9h ago

Well, if they’re at least changing some words then they’re technically just doing exactly what kids in my school did back in the day. Read text book. Need to write something about what textbook taught. Basically write verbatim what the textbook said but change some words and the order itself to not plagiarize.
