AI Chatbots have telltale quirks. Researchers can spot them with 97% accuracy
Briefly

A study conducted by researchers from four U.S. universities highlights the effectiveness of a machine learning model in distinguishing outputs of major generative AI chatbots. By analyzing language patterns, the model reached 97.1% accuracy in differentiating five popular LLMs. Each chatbot exhibits unique linguistic quirks, such as ChatGPT frequently using 'utilize,' while Google's Gemini often opens conclusions with 'essentially.' This nuanced understanding helps to shed light on the varied characteristics of AI-generated text and could support more effective content evaluation and detection frameworks in the future.
Researchers at four U.S. universities have identified linguistic fingerprints of large language models, enabling them to distinguish between outputs from different chatbots with 97.1% accuracy.
Mingjie Sun states, 'By training a machine learning classifier to do this task, and by looking at the performance of that classifier, we can then assess the difference between different LLMs.'
Yida Yin emphasizes that 'The writing, the word choices, the formatting are all different,' revealing unique stylistic features across various language models.
The study shows that tools developed can consistently detect and differentiate various LLMs by analyzing their unique language patterns, which could improve detection capabilities.
