I havent submitted - but surely using AI to detect AI defeats the object of not using AI !!

Yes, this agency is stating they reserve the right to run your manuscript through an AI detector to see if anything flags as AI. The contention is that the AI detector is also AI, which means the manuscript is being analyzed by AI, which many writers don't want, hence the hesitation to submit to this publisher in general.
@nbcarroll, the previous commentors don't want their manuscripts given to an AI detector because that's still putting one's manuscript into the world of AI analysis, it's still an AI system, there's still a lot of conflict with AI using words submitted for training the AI. A lot of people don't want their manuscripts given to the machinery in any way, shape or form and want their written words to be seen by human eyes only.
