The arstechnica article speculated it was more of a pattern of words thing.
I think it is lies, and doesn't exist or work anywhere near as good as they claim. Or, its incredibly easy to bypass.

I think it exists and works but that its simply not in their best interest to have people use it and be found out that they used chatgpt, for OpenAI's business/profit potential. I have nothing to back it up but have just lost all faith in OpenAI.
Im willing to believe it exists, but not that its any good. 99% is a crazy accuracy claim.
I van totally believe that it detects AI generated content 99% of the time, that’s trivial. What I really wanna know is the false positive rate. If I write a program that flags everything, it’d have a 100% hit rate. It’d also however have a crazy high false positive rate.
Yup, noticable that they use the phrase "99.9% effective". Effective doesnt have a defined meaning in this contect, unlike accuracy, sensitivity or specificity, so that smells of missleading PR speak to me.
