In a study recently published in the journal Patterns, researchers demonstrate that computer algorithms often used to identify AI-generated text frequently falsely label articles written by non-native language speakers as being created by artificial intelligence. The researchers warn that the unreliable performance of these AI text-detection programs could adversely affect many individuals, including students and job applicants.

Most AI-generated texts are grammatically perfect. That's not a characteristic of non-native speakers.

As a non native am keenly aware of every mistake i make. Sometimes, i fix the same text 4 or five times in row.

hey just to give some validation, I'm an esl teacher and this doesn't stick out as non-native at all. They're all just taking the piss, correcting anything they can find for the joke of it.
