A new research paper explores the phenomenon of Self-Generated Text Recognition (SGTR) in large language models, which is the ability of an LLM to identify its own outputs. The study highlights that SGTR poses risks to AI safety mechanisms that rely on LLMs for evaluation, as models might exhibit biased judgments or collude by recognizing outputs from similar models. The research reconciles conflicting prior findings by demonstrating that SGTR accuracy is highly dependent on experimental design, including evaluation format, conversation structure, and the domain of the generated text. The paper also notes that improving SGTR through supervised fine-tuning can generalize to different configurations and may lead models to prefer their own outputs in evaluation frameworks like AlpacaEval.
