Lol, all LLM-detection methods are bullshit nowadays. A few days back i saw a post where an excerpt from Mary Shelleys Frankenstein was marked as 100% AI-generated. If they use LLMs to interview you, you can use LLMs to respond - tit for tat.
That tester is old. It uses the technique of testing how predictable the text is, which is very inaccurate, especially on famous works that were in the training data. But recently, the major AI companies started watermarking their own outputs. It is now much easier to prove something is AI generated.
The watermarks are cryptographic in nature, and they rely on a secret key to both watermark and verify. So only the AI company can run the test, but it is accurate with long enough texts.
I'm sure its a cynical ploy to get people to upload future training data directly to the AI company's servers, but it does mean AI is more detectable now than it was.
Watermarks don't do shit in practical terms.
a) simple text can't be watermarked.
b) In any other media you can remove them by using ... another model! just run it through a local model - you dont even have to have an GPU for that task if speed isn't important, and any half-recent GPU can deal with any watermark in seconds in images, maybe minutes in audio, while videos take a bit longer depending on multiple factors.
quick examples:
AI is very good at recognizing even non-visible (for humans) watermarks and will remove them without question.
The application process shown is clearly text based. Its not asking for images audio or video. The image and video tools you linked are designed for physical watermarks, not cryptographic ones. Its the same word, but very different in practice.
The text watermarking is embedded into the output's word choice. It requires large amounts of text of text to be detectable, but it is there in plain text. Word choice is shifted by a biased random number generator based on a secret key. Without the secret key held only by the company, its not possible to tell which part the watermark is.
Most things can be circumvented. There are local models that do not watermark. But most people are lazy, most people go the simple route of copying the output of a corporate AI product. People literally publish articles that end with, "is there anything more I can do to help."
A research time of about 45 seconds has shown that the techniques regarding plain text can also be removed by automated means.

I'd say, if you are dumb enough to not clean up your shit, you do not deserve any better.
Llms quite literally predict and mimic human writing. Its why so many people (unfortunately) use it as a friend, partner, or therapist.
Any company claiming to be able to detect it is either reading a digital watermark or bullshitting
Sad thing is chat bots are a very old technology. The first ones were being used by people 50+ years ago and even back then people would talk to them like a real person and go into AI psychosis. LLM is a really good mimick and copycat generator, but that’s about it.
I miss my dear old friend Smarterchild.
I used to talk to Evie
Is she Eliza's daughter?
The goal of the interaction is to land the job, not to yell into the void.
If you're interviewed by an LLM, you need strategies that give you the best odds at escalating your resume up the chain. Idk if that means using an LLM to write for you. But I might consider looking up injection attacks and exploits to trigger an escalation of your resume. Possible that an LLM can help you formulate the strategy, but I suspect the actual work product will need to be customized by a human to have the best chance of success.
Probably the best way to draw attention to you if applying for a tech job
And for the other things, it's probably a matter of scale - if i can use LLMs to apply for 3 times the jobs than i could without, i'd say that my chances became better, not worse. But yeah, for the jobs you would really like to land a human touch is for sure the better strategy.
