AI Detector False Positives — Why ESL Writers Get Flagged
Non-native English speakers are flagged as AI writers at rates up to 38-61% higher than native speakers — because ESL writing patterns (simple vocabulary, uniform sentences, formulaic transitions) look identical to AI output. AADDYY's ESL Fairness Mode adjusts for this.
