Could you build this?

No Accurately detecting generated text across multiple state-of-the-art LLMs is an open machine learning research problem requiring massive proprietary datasets of human vs. AI text and specialized classification models.

What it would actually take: A true AI detection system requires curating millions of paired human and multi-model synthetic texts, computing perplexity, burstiness, and fine-tuning transformer classifiers (like RoBERTa or specialized watermarking/statistical models). The hard part is overcoming adversarial paraphrasing and low false-positive rates on non-native English writing, which is an unresolved research topic rather than a standard API wrapper task.

Discussion

2 comments analyzed.

Concerns raised: AI detection fundamentally doesn't work without watermarks, False positives on human-written text (Declaration of Independence marked 91% AI), Preys on users without domain knowledge, Accuracy and reliability unclear
