Did anyone pay attention to how we made machine learning in the first place? We picked a task that only humans could do, and we made humans train a model to do it until of course it was no longer a task that only humans could do.

AI detectors will work exactly the same way. The effect of AI detectors on people is unfairness and misery, so people will be incentivized to remove the characteristics the detectors can find from AI output, and then other people will make better detectors, and the only possible outcome of this arms race is that it will no longer be possible at all to tell whether something was written by a machine or a person.
