No idea, I'm not convinced it matters that much? Like, if people are using AI and I legitimately can't tell at all (and I'm not their teacher or something)... okay, fair.

Edit: But I'm also super conflicted about this, because I really want to read what humans think, not what an AI thinks, regardless of the writing quality.

My point is that you cannot know that AI generated text is obviously AI generated. It's like the old "hair pieces look awful, I can tell immediately!" - no, you can only tell when they're awful. Maybe you're not as good as you think at detecting AI.

Well, but I think my false positive rate is very low, it’s just the false negative rate that could potentially be quite high. This bothers me much less than the reverse.
