Claim ID
false-positives
Assertion
Synthetic content detectors typically output a probability-like score, and false positives (human content judged AI-generated) can be extremely damaging.
Quote
Typically, the detector will give a real-valued score for each input—which can generally be interpreted as a probability—indicating how likely the input is synthetic. [...] In many contexts, false positives—assessing human content as AI-generated—can be extremely damaging, potentially resulting in major reputational harms or adverse treatment.
