AI writing detection practices analyzed in real-world contexts

A new paper explores how people identify AI-generated writing in real-world contexts, such as on English Wikipedia and among students. The research indicates that these identifications are not based on specific textual features alone, but often stem from perceived pragmatic infelicities or mismatches with the context. These AI identifications can serve as a tool to define and enforce sociolinguistic norms, determining what is considered appropriate or human-like within a given context. AI

IMPACT Understanding the social and contextual factors influencing AI detection can inform the development of more nuanced and less biased AI identification tools.

    Contextuality and Contradictions: Exploring Real-World Identifications of AI-Generated Writing

    arXiv:2611.08704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI-generated content spreads into nearly every domain of human interaction, practices and discourses of AI detection, both formal and informal, have become an everyday part of how people interact with text and with each other. In…
