• Title: ChatGPT, Llama, can you write my report? An experiment on assisted digital forensics reports written using (Local) Large Language Models
• Authors: Ga\"etan Michelet, Frank Breitinger
• Abstract summary: Generative AIs such as ChatGPT or Llama have advanced significantly, positioning them as valuable tools for digital forensics. This article first examines forensic reports with the goal of generalization. We then evaluate the strengths and limitations of LLMs for generating the different parts of the forensic report. We conclude that combined with thorough proofreading and corrections, LLMs may assist practitioners during the report writing process but at this point cannot replace them.

• Abstract: Generative AIs, especially Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or Llama, have advanced significantly, positioning them as valuable tools for digital forensics. While initial studies have explored the potential of ChatGPT in the context of investigations, the question of to what extent LLMs can assist the forensic report writing process remains unresolved. To answer the question, this article first examines forensic reports with the goal of generalization (e.g., finding the `average structure' of a report). We then evaluate the strengths and limitations of LLMs for generating the different parts of the forensic report using a case study. This work thus provides valuable insights into the automation of report writing, a critical facet of digital forensics investigations. We conclude that combined with thorough proofreading and corrections, LLMs may assist practitioners during the report writing process but at this point cannot replace them.

  Authorship attribution aims to identify the origin or author of a document. Large Language Models (LLMs) with their deep reasoning capabilities and ability to maintain long-range textual associations offer a promising alternative. Our results on the IMDb and blog datasets show an impressive 85% accuracy in one-shot authorship classification across ten authors.

  We consider LLMs as authors of commonsense assessment items. We prompt LLMs to generate items in the style of a prominent benchmark for commonsense reasoning. We find that LLMs that succeed in answering the original COPA benchmark are also more successful in authoring their own items.

  We consider the evaluation of the lexical richness of the text generated by conversational Large Language Models (LLMs) and how it depends on the model parameters. The results show how lexical richness depends on the version of ChatGPT and some of its parameters, such as the presence penalty, or on the role assigned to the model.
