Plagiarism is easier to verify, because you can directly compare with the plagiarized source material

Absolutely. I think it may have to end up more as a statistics thing with behaviour. For example:

"Tom had a single paragraph flag as possibly generated" vs "Every single paper Tom writes has paragraphs flag"

Basically we might have to move to detecting statistical outliers as cheating. Now whether the tools/teachers will understand/actually do that - we can only hope....

That's a good point: the effectiveness at detecting AI generation is probably going to depend strongly on the length of the text.
