I'm very skeptical of AI detection and watermarking for text (especially short passages), but AI detection for images and videos seems much more plausible (for now at least).

I would love if Meta licensed this tech to use for everything on Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp. Including ads!

You should look at the data. Look at the actual measurements on the accuracy of Pangram's V4 detection model. Try to fool it. It's not easy at all.

It’s often inaccurate with short text. For example it has flagged text I wrote by hand with no AI input or editing.

But I agree it’s good for longer text of 1000+ words.

Do you mind providing that example?

Why are you so skeptical of text detection?

Do you believe it generally doesn't work or do you believe that if you work at it you can evade them and therefore there's no point to it?
