GPT detectors frequently misclassify non-native English writing as AI generated, raising concerns about fairness and robustness. Addressing the biases in these detectors is crucial to prevent the marginalization of non-native English speakers in evaluative and educational settings and to create a more equitable digital landscape.

We've known those AI paper detection services were junk from the get go with their huge false positive rate on even native English papers.

That's because all non English speakers are robots

Huh. A bunch of brand new services built by a new handful of techbros has a bias against people who don’t look and sound like them? That is quite the lofty accusation! /s

Is kbin a place where we just call everyone we don't like "techbros"?

Just include some properly-cited facts, some opinion, some insight, something original, and we'll be certain that your writing wasn't AI-generated shit.

Also, these detectors are pretty worthless if that's what they're triggering on. AI never makes a spelling mistake. I've never seen it make a grammar mistake, because all it does is spew out the most likely next word based on copyright infringement on an unimaginable scale. It doesn't produce the kind of non-idomatic constructions that break the flow of the text for native speakers, because it never generates anything worth reading.
