I have mixed feelings about the possibility of detecting
correctly AI generated text in all cases. I know 2 forum users which were incorrectly accused of using AI for their posts (one case is the one from
here). While a (
one) website was detecting AI generated posts in their cases, 3 other websites were saying that their posts were written by a human.
AI generated posts are, indeed, a problem, since many can use it for reaching their campaign quotas and also for obtaining not deserved merits. So some action against such cases is more than welcome, such as nutildah
did. Besides, some campaign managers are also actively looking for AI generated posts.
However, since this
madness technology is somehow recent, the tools for properly detecting it are not flawless and they may lead to false accusations. At same time, a broken tool is better than no tool at all so, at least, there is a way for combating this new way of cheating the system. Therefore, since the tools used are not flawless, I believe that best approach is to treat these accusations case by case, try each time using more websites for detecting the AI and not just one, allow the users to defend themselves and to present proof in their favor and so on.
What I'm trying to say is that, since this technology is here and there is nothing that can be done about that, let's not always jump to conclusions and let's make a thorough analysis for each accusation.
