The same recording can come back scored differently depending on which copy you upload. That is not the detector being unreliable, and understanding why makes you much better at using one.
As of 2 August 2026 this stopped being purely an ethics question in the EU. Here is where the line actually falls between a production tool and a thing you must label.
You run the same clip through three tools and get 91 percent AI, 34 percent AI, and inconclusive. Nothing is broken. Here is what those numbers actually are.
