AI detectors fail to reliably distinguish human from AI text

AI detection tools are fundamentally flawed and cannot reliably distinguish between human-written and AI-generated text. These detectors often produce false positives, incorrectly flagging human writing as AI-generated, and false negatives, failing to identify AI content. The underlying issue is that AI models are trained on vast amounts of human text, making their output statistically similar to human writing, and the rapid evolution of AI generation techniques further complicates detection efforts.
