A new research paper published on arXiv explores the paradox of "humanizing" AI-generated text, finding that attempts to make LLM outputs sound more human can paradoxically make them easier to detect. The study analyzed a RoBERTa-based detector using the M4 dataset and controlled generations from Mistral-7B-Instruct. It revealed that increasing statistical complexity, such as verb diversity, led to higher detection scores. The research also highlighted issues with robustness in detection methods, as paraphrasing and character substitutions significantly altered detection scores without changing the perceived human-likeness of the text.
