Here's a toy model of using AI-detection as a signal to infer author type that gets at some of the implict assumptions we make when we argue that AI detection is or is not useful: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/06/06/when-is-detecting-ai-generated-text-worthwhile/
The latent state we want to detect is human perspective. But some humans are very predictable, so in aggregate it's not easily separable from AI perspective. Instead we detect an easier thing: who strung the words together. What matters is the correlation. We should expect FPs.
