AI-generated text: Detection methods and countermeasures

Try Voice Writer - speak your thoughts and let AI handle the grammar: https://voicewriter.io Lots of people use ChatGPT and other LLMs for writing, sometimes for better or worse. But is it possible to detect this? Many have claimed ways to detect AI-generated content, such as classifiers, zero-shot methods, and watermarking. But how do these methods hold up against adversarial attacks, like paraphrasing models?
