AI checkers are fundamentally a cat-and-mouse game in which detectors learn to catch a pattern and the next LLM may avoid it, so detectors must constantly be updated and will inevitably produce false positives.

The author gives a disclaimer that AI detection is a cat-and-mouse game: detectors catch patterns, newer LLMs evade them, detectors get updated, and false positives are likely. ✦ AI generated

Disclaimer: AI checkers are essentially a cat-and-mouse game. AI checkers may learn to detect a certain pattern that is indicative of AI-generated content. Then, the next LLM may incidentally or deliberately not exhibit that pattern and avoid detection. The AI checker then has to be updated to detect said LLM, and so forth. Plus, it's also likely to encounter false positives (human written text flagged as AI-generated), but more on that later.
