"AI detection" is a scam. Already such detection in education has been treated like "the computer says your work is AI, so that's final and you're getting sanctioned" rather than "the computer alleges you are submitting AI-generated work, can you show your work process?". It unfairly targets neurodivergent individuals who sometimes have a tendency to write in such a way that is closer to what these AI detection tools claim is AI, than neurotypical individuals.
AI detectors will (intentionally and unintentionally) end up being used in heavily ableist ways. Once it's ingrained in the zeitgeist, then we're stuck with it until it causes a scandal so big that it can't be ignored, and in the meantime it will harm millions, if not billions, of people.
AI image detection, even when it does work, will have an extremely short shelf life, as the model continue to improve. Remember when SD couldn't even reliably render hands with five fingers? Go try some image generation on the state of the art models and inspect the hands, you'll find that there are far fewer impossible hands than there used to be. This will only improve over time. What do you do when the state of the art models eventually overcome all these issues? What about when they become capable of rendering flawless text? What then?
It's like people who claim that they can tell you with 100% certainty whether an image was photoshopped. Bullshit.
