Is it true that AI-text detectors accurately identify AI-generated source code as machine-written?
No. An empirical study found that existing AI-content detectors perform poorly at detecting AI-generated source code, and a separate study of GPTZero reported high false-positive rates on written text. No retrieved item shows detectors accurately identifying AI-generated code.
