Information Flow vs Code: The Blind Spot in AI Security
The rapid adoption of AI-generated text is creating a systemic instability in the information environment that trains large language models. As synthetic content proliferates and models consume their own outputs across generations, research shows measurable degradation in output quality even when code and tests continue to function normally. Detectors and models including Aidetector, ZeroGPT, GPTZero, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, DeepSeek and Meta AI produce inconsistent verdicts on the same human-written text, with some labeling classical rhetorical devices as AI markers. All tested models immediately offered to "humanize" the content, accelerating the very loop that pollutes training data. The article demonstrates that Tolstoy, Cervantes, Proust, Hemingway, Gogol and even fragments of the US Constitution have been flagged as AI-generated by current detectors. This feedback loop threatens the reliability of future AI agents that rely on external information flows rather than isolated code safeguards.
