Detection tools can produce false results, Science and Technology Daily warns, citing 100-year-old essay rated as 60 per cent written by AI
However, an official publication of the Ministry of Science and Technology has warned that using AI content detectors to identify AI writing is essentially a form of “technological superstition” that could cause many unintended side effects.
AI detection tools could produce false results, the Science and Technology Daily said in an editorial last Tuesday, adding that some graduates had complained that content clearly written by them was labelled as AI-generated.
Even a very famous Chinese essay written 100 years ago was evaluated as more than 60 per cent AI-generated, when analysed by these tools, the article said.
