I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

I haven't read Daggermouth and I haven't even read the weird article about it because I find strange investigations based on ~analyzing~ the text to be... Questionable. But I don't like the fact that the self-appointed AI police are proceeding with such reckless ignorance and unhinged confidence.

The other day I put into a checker a paragraph from a document that is a decade old at this point, and it said that 2/3 of that paragraph was AI generated. The detection tools are garbage.

One of the most exhausting things about the "AI" cycle is that every skill, every trick, every tool and every piece of published research is out of date by the time we master them. Even the most solid research is generations out of date by the time it's published. It's why the hype cycle dominates.
