"The newspaper ran her answers through Copyleaks.com, whose AI content-detection tool boasts a 99% accuracy rate, and found it was written by artificial intelligence."

On 101 words, this is about as accurate as the 9 out of 10 dentists that recommended my toothbrush but for some reason we trust it enough to ruin someone's professional or academic reputation.

That may be so, but if her reputation has been “ruined” that’s probably down to her own admission.

I’d also add that if she were merely using AI to translate her own words from her native Mandarin into English it would have barely rated a mention (at least not in the NY Post).
