    Inverting the Asymmetry: Why AI Detectors Are Dead, and How to Make Spammers Pay With Their Time

    <p>The cost of synthesizing plausible-looking content has collapsed to near zero. The cost of verifying it stayed stubbornly human, slow, and expensive. That single broken asymmetry explains why every open inbound channel — freelance bid boards, GitHub's PR tree, corporate hiring…
