As expected, they can’t be trusted. And the more AI evolves, the less likely AI content will be detectable IMO.

It will almost always be detectable if you just read what is written. Especially for academic work. It doesn’t know what a citation is, only what one looks like and where they appear. It can’t summarise a paper accurately. It’s easy to force laughably bad output by just asking the right sort of question.

The simplest approach for setting homework is to give them the LLM output and get them to check it for errors and omissions. LLMs can’t critique their own work and students probably learn more from chasing down errors than filling a blank sheet of paper for the sake of it.

given how much AI has advanced in the past year alone, saying it will “always” be easy to spot is extremely short sighted.

People seem to grasp onto weaknesses AI has now and say that they will have them forever, like how text AI lies, and image generation AI can't draw hands.

But these AIs are advancing unimaginably quick, 2 years ago generated text was pretty bad, becoming pretty incoherent, and 1 year ago generated images were mostly strange mush.

Spot on! Actually people still talk about hands but it's already been solved with many newer image gen models... The hands they produce look perfectly fine usually these days.
