The "can" is irrelevant here. Checking tool has to be reliable to be useful. What's the use of having a checker that maybe detects something sometimes somewhat successfully?

There's a massive gap between "you can't make a tool" and "you can't identify it".

The problem with a tool is the exact same as the issue with LLMs to begin with. It does not resemble intelligence or comprehension in any way and cannot use it as an indicator.

But the use of LLMs is absolutely identifiable to moderately intelligent humans, because LLM output has raw language skills wildly inconsistent with every other skill that is part of writing.

What's even point of your argument? That a detective can figure out who used AI? Yes detectives can figure out most stuff. This is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand my dude.

What are you talking about "detectives"?

You said "nobody can identify LLM use" when any moderately intelligent human can identify LLM output pretty easily. It explodes off the page.

Whatever dude not playing these stupid games. You know exactly what I meant. Go away 👋

It's not a game.

Spreading the lie that LLMs are somehow indistinguishable from humans is incredibly harmful. It's a big part of the reason the obscene waste of energy the entire "force chatbots into everything" space exists.
