AI-detection tools achieve only 66–68% accuracy, no better than human baselines, and AI-generated text scores 100% on plagiarism detectors.
Summary
Automated tools for spotting AI-written text perform barely above chance, meaning no software shortcut exists for reliably separating human writing from machine-generated writing. On top of that, AI text trips plagiarism checkers as if it were copied, so the usual verification pipeline produces contradictory signals rather than a clean answer.
