A post argues that AI slop detectors are fundamentally useless.
The reasons given are that many of them use AI on the backend anyway, and that the same models are trained on the data they later flag as AI-generated. The author concludes that instead of trusting detectors, people should simply read the text and judge whether it forms a coherent argument and flows well.
