AI detectors are creating a new era of distrust

The Stepback argues that AI detectors are driving a new wave of distrust by extending older anti-plagiarism methods to judge writing authenticity. These tools typically work by comparing a submission against a large web and academic database and can return a matching percentage (e.g., Turnitin). As a result, readers may place less trust in authorship claims and verification systems based on automated similarity scores.
