    A false positive is when it incorrectly determines that a human written text is written by AI. While a detection rate of 99.9% sounds impressive, it’s not very reliable if it comes with a false positive rate of 20%.

      I know what a false positive is, and it’s not a thing when talking about effectiveness, they claim it gets it right 99.9% of the time.
