Assumption

Assume that the detection mechanism, which includes human intuition and factors like account age and other tells, is not 100% perfect. Given the human margin of error on any task, this is all but a certainty. It has been established, then, that our Turing test is flawed, this means it cannot reliably identify all AI-generated content as such. Therefore, ABAA \cap B \neq A.

Proof

  1. Assume AI-generated content exists on the SCP wiki: Assume there exists some AI-generated content xx such that xACx \in A \cap C. This means xx is both AI-generated and on the SCP wiki.

  2. Imperfection in detection: Given that ABAA \cap B \neq A, there are some elements in AA that are not in BB. Let’s denote this set difference as D=A\BD = A \setminus B, where DD is non-empty.

  3. Existence of undetected AI content on the SCP wiki: Since DD is non-empty, and DAD \subseteq A, and we assume xACx \in A \cap C, it’s possible that xDCx \in D \cap C, in a statistically significant number of cases. It then follows that xx is AI-generated content that is both on the SCP wiki and has not been identified as AI-generated despite having been scrutinized by moderators.

Conclusion

Since DCD \cap C is non-empty, there necessarily exists some AI-generated content on the SCP wiki that has not been identified as such by the screening process, despite human intuition and other detection factors. Thus, some AI-generated content that passes the community’s enhanced Turing test is shown to exist.
