Actually, you're allowing a much higher percentage of cheaters if you read the paper. They optimized to avoid false accusations. It's only ~45-75% accurate at detecting AI writing. It's closer to 90% accurate at detecting human writing. Half the cheaters get through, and you still fail 10 percent of the people who didn't cheat.


> It's closer to 90% accurate at detecting human writing.

I know that's what they wrote, but I heavily disagree. It got 28/30 (93%) correct, but out of the two it got "wrong":

- one was just straight up not rated because the file format was odd or something

- the other got rated as 11% AI-written, which imo is very low. I think teachers would consider this as "human-written", as when I was being evaluated with Turnitin that percentage of "plagiarism" detected would have simply been ignored.


At this point the most basic users of could be easily picked off and that style and list will grow yearly.
