How could we have both the AI that is indistinguishable from humans and the AI that can detect it with good accuracy? That would imply the race on both sides fo

  Text is a very high dimensional space, n-dimensional in fact. There is plenty of room for an AI to leave a fingerprint that can be detected in some ways but not others. In fact it doesn't take much text to distinguish between two human beings. The humanly-obvious version is that someone that habitually speaks in one dialect and someone else in another must be separate, but even without such obvious tells humans separate themselves into characterizeable subsets of this space fairly quickly. I'm skeptical about generalized AI versus human detection in the face of the fact that it is adversarial. But a constant, unmoving target of some specific AI in some particular mode would definitely be detectable; e.g., "ChatGPT's current default voice" would certainly be detectable, "ChatGPT when instructed to sound like Ernest Hemmingway" would be detectable, etc. I just question whether ChatGPT in general can be characterized.
