Do AI Content Detectors Work or Not?

These detectors frequently produce inaccurate results, primarily because the metrics used for detection have not been sufficiently validated. OpenAI's own experimental AI Classifier, which was specifically designed for this task, exhibited a low accuracy rate of 26 percent before it was discontinued.

Its response can be confusing if you ask whether a particular essay that it wrote was AI-generated or written by a human.
