Rethinking AI-Generated Text Detection: A Strong Baseline and the Distribution-Shift Problem That Remains
Across several benchmarks, it is shown that a plain, fully fine-tuned RoBERTa matches or exceeds the specialized detectors those benchmarks are built around, suggesting that progress in AI-generated text detection should be measured not only by in-distribution performance, but also by robustness under distribution shift.
