To prove this, the researchers developed attacks that they showed could fool state-of-the-art fake-news detectors. Since the detector thinks that the human-written text is real, the attacker cleverly (and automatically) impersonates such text. In addition, because the detector thinks the machine-generated text is fake, it might be forced to also falsely condemn totally legitimate uses of automatic text generation.
