All that has to be shown is that the tool is as bad as or worse than random today, in order to remove it today.
Seems like from what the article we're talkin about says it definitely ain't worse than random by far. Thing you most want to avoid is wrongly labeling humans as AI-written so that seems pretty good. Though it only identified 26% of AI text as "likely AI-written" that's still better than nothing, and better than random. But we don't know or I don't know from the article if that's on the problem cases of less than 1,000 characters or not. It don't say what the *best case* is just what the general cases are.
Anyhow don't seem to me worse than random is the issue here
Might as well remove all comment sections because people suck so assume there's no value having one. Pick any number of things like that. Just ain't a good way to go thinking about anything let alone defending a company for removing it, since the same logic justifies removing your ability to criticize or defend it in the first place. You an AI expert? Assume no, so why we let you talk about it? Or me? People suck so why let you comment? On and on like that.
