How to detect if a text was created with AI?

Creating an AI detector, I think i have it

It’s not as easy as that. I mean, sure, to a degree, you can be sure that it follows simple things like the highest probability next token, but OpenAI does randomize these probabilities quite a bit. Since you don’t know where the randomness comes from, you cannot (or hardly can) extrapolate the result (AI/not AI). For instance, human text works in pretty similar ways: Our texts wouldn’t make sense if suddenly beach mango cat ouch. In fact, OpenAI did want to make texts traceable with custom r…

I’m almost 100% confident that reliable AI text detection is impossible, especially as LLMs continue to improve.

Trying to detect if you wrote something with the help of AI is like trying to detect if you used a Thesaurus!
