contents This paper details our submission to the AraGenEval Shared Task on Arabic AI-generated text detection, where our team, BUSTED, secured 5th place. We investigated the effectiveness of three pre-trained transformer models: AraELECTRA, CAMeLBERT, and XLM-RoBERTa. Our approach involved fine-tuning each model on the provided dataset for a binary classification task. Our findings revealed a surprising result: the multilingual XLM-RoBERTa model achieved the highest performance with an F1 score of 0.7701, outperforming the specialized Arabic models. This work underscores the complexities of AI-generated text detection and highlights the strong generalization capabilities of multilingual models.
