Because AI detectors suck and are the modern day equivalent of dowsing rods?
They're circular. If the text is too predictable it was written by an LLM* but LLMs are designed to regurgitate the next word most commonly used by humans in any given context.
*AI is a complete misnomer for the hi-tech magic 8ball
The next most commonly used word would result in a loop of common word. LLMs do not work like that
If they were only looking at the previous word, they would. But they have an attention mechanism which stores the “meaning” of all previous words in a vector using a different neural net.
