From the data for pre-GPT-era pages, it looks like a false positive rate of about 1.2%. So when it says that 35% of current pages (pages published, say, this month) are detected as AI-written, 33.8% of them probably actually are.
1.2% of positives were false, right? Not 1.2% of the entire dataset.
So it would be 1.2% of that 35% positive subset. So 34.65%.
