• Abstract summary: We propose GPT-who, the first psycholinguistically-inspired domain-agnostic statistical detector. This detector employs UID-based features to model the unique statistical signature of each Large Language Models (LLMs)-generated and human-generated texts. We find that GPT-who can distinguish texts generated by very sophisticated LLMs, even when the overlying text is indiscernible.

• Abstract: The Uniform Information Density (UID) principle posits that humans prefer to spread information evenly during language production. We examine if this UID principle can help capture differences between Large Language Models (LLMs)-generated and human-generated texts. We propose GPT-who, the first psycholinguistically-inspired domain-agnostic statistical detector. This detector employs UID-based features to model the unique statistical signature of each LLM and human author for accurate detection. We evaluate our method using 4 large-scale benchmark datasets and find that GPT-who outperforms state-of-the-art detectors (both statistical- & non-statistical) such as GLTR, GPTZero, DetectGPT, OpenAI detector, and ZeroGPT by over $20$% across domains. In addition to better performance, it is computationally inexpensive and utilizes an interpretable representation of text articles. We find that GPT-who can distinguish texts generated by very sophisticated LLMs, even when the overlying text is indiscernible. UID-based measures for all datasets and code are available at https://github.com/saranya-venkatraman/gpt-who.

  We present a new benchmark, DetectRL, highlighting that even state-of-the-art (SOTA) detection techniques still underperformed in this task. Our development of DetectRL reveals the strengths and limitations of current SOTA detectors. We believe DetectRL could serve as an effective benchmark for assessing detectors in real-world scenarios.

  Existing detectors are built on the assumption that there is a distribution gap between human-generated and AI-generated texts. We find that large language models such as ChatGPT exhibit strong self-consistency in text generation and continuation. We propose a new method for AI-generated texts detection based on self-consistency with masked predictions.

  Large language models (LLMs) have shown the ability to produce fluent and cogent content. To build trustworthy AI systems, it is imperative to distinguish between machine-generated and human-authored content. Fast-DetectGPT is an optimized zero-shot detector that substitutes DetectGPT's perturbation step with a more efficient sampling step.

Results show that our zero-shot approach exhibits state-of-the-art performance in distinguishing between human and GPT-generated text.

  Small and partially-trained models are better universal text detectors. We find that whether the detector and generator were trained on the same data is not critically important to the detection success. For instance, the OPT-125M model has an AUC of 0.81 in detecting ChatGPT generations, whereas a larger model from the GPT family, GPTJ-6B, has AUC of 0.45.

  We present a paraphrase generation model (DIPPER) that can paraphrase paragraphs, condition on surrounding context, and control lexical diversity and content reordering. Using DIPPER to paraphrase text generated by three large language models (including GPT3.5-davinci-003) successfully evades several detectors, including watermarking. We introduce a simple defense that relies on retrieving semantically-similar generations and must be maintained by a language model API provider.

  We show that text sampled from an large language model tends to occupy negative curvature regions of the model's log probability function. We then define a new curvature-based criterion for judging if a passage is generated from a given LLM. We find DetectGPT is more discriminative than existing zero-shot methods for model sample detection.
