In more detail
An AI detector is a tool that claims to tell whether text or images were made by AI — paste in an essay, get a verdict like ‘likely AI-generated.’ The trouble is that it’s guessing from statistical patterns, and it’s wrong in both directions distressingly often.
It matters because these verdicts carry real consequences — students accused, writers rejected — on evidence far flimsier than it looks. Polished human writing gets flagged; lightly edited AI text sails through. Treat a detector score as a hunch, never as proof, and be very careful accusing anyone with one.
