Spotting LLMs With Binoculars: Zero-Shot Detection of Machine-Generated Text

Abhimanyu Hans, Avi Schwarzschild, Valeriia Cherepanova +5

Detecting text generated by modern large language models is thought to be hard, as both LLMs and humans can exhibit a wide range of complex behaviors. However, we find that a score…
