What can you do with 90%? Accuse people of plagiarism and ignore the fact you will hurt 10% of innocent people, while still allowing 10% of cheaters? Of course there's ambiguity in the "accuracy" term, but I assumed you can be inaccurate in both directions.
Actually, you're allowing a much higher percentage of cheaters if you read the paper. They optimized to avoid false accusations. It's only ~45-75% accurate at detecting AI writing. It's closer to 90% accurate at detecting human writing. Half the cheaters get through, and you still fail 10 percent of the people who didn't cheat.

I know that's what they wrote, but I heavily disagree. It got 28/30 (93%) correct, but out of the two it got "wrong":
- one was just straight up not rated because the file format was odd or something
- the other got rated as 11% AI-written, which imo is very low. I think teachers would consider this as "human-written", as when I was being evaluated with Turnitin that percentage of "plagiarism" detected would have simply been ignored.
