does anybody know why the Sapling AI detector keeps detecting human-written content as 100% AI?

Vlad Covic November 15, 2024 at 01:15 PM

Because it's an AI detector and AI detectors are dumb as F

Vlad is correct

There isn’t any magic DNA or fingerprint (yet! that we can detect!) in non-crappy AI content.

I recommend not using those tools. And if a client is using them, encourage them to not. They aren’t reliable.

AI is getting better while human content is getting worse. There will soon be no difference for most of the content that these AI checker use as a baseline. It sucks.

AI detectors are all crap IMHO for the points above. This might just be me, but I've gotten to have a knack at spotting possible AI generated text based on the use of certain words or style things that seem off (it helps when content is supposed to meet an established standard).
