"admit" like this was something they denied? Everyone always knew that ai text detectors don't work and they never claimed otherwise.

The issue is that schools have been using detectors to flag AI essays. When students (wrongly) get caught up in them, they get penalized even if they never used any AI to help them write the essay in question. Sort of like a plagiarism filter falsely flagging a paragraph as plagiarized, even if the student didn’t plagiarize it.

Oh yeah it's an issue, but none of that is on OpenAI. There's no admission here. It's a statement from an authority to shut up the idiots, like a map maker saying earth is a sphere, something we already know but somehow it's still believed by many.
