AI detectors work about 20% of the time in my experience. I recently ran an essay through a couple AI detectors. It said they were AI generated with something like 90% confidence. I wrote the essays between 2008 and 2013 when I returned to college. I found them on an old, forgotten external hard drive that got push to the bottom of my computer parts box.
AI is a generalization engine, so the only way to really tell if something might be AI generated is if it feels generalized and flat. All those "AI tells" are bunk as well, because they're all legitimate style choices that has been used in literature.
“Also, the use of AI for copy editing and proofreading is already in use in auto-correct and other places. As I said, it does have it’s uses which are extremely helpful but this is not at the creative level.” This is the nuance a lot of people miss. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for writing this. There is a huge disconnect between academia and commercial publishing. Students in our college level creative writing classrooms need to understand that they should not outsource their human creativity to this unethical automation. It has been an uphill battle for all of writing studies as we fight both state and federal AI "mandates" in the U.S.

Thank you and may more agents be like you!
