detecting ai-generated papers through “tortured phrases”

there's a paper on the arxiv [1] that discusses detecting ai-generated research papers through so called “tortured phrases”; that is, phrases which resemble standard field-specific jargon, but seemingly mangled by a thesaurus.

they built a set of these tortured phrases (the table above) and searched the literature. and found. so many examples.

anyway.

they used to do this shit with shady APK download sites, and probably other shady download sites too, presumably to try and dodge guys sniffing out said shady sites. this led to deeply deeply funny manglings of descriptions

anyway. haze figuring

A lot of these seem like reasonable mistakes a foreign language speaker could make. Or machine translation of a human-written foreign language article.

As soon as I read the first line I was reminded of the time a Chinese professor in an intro CS course taught us about the "deadly embrace" (deadlock) that occurs when an I/O process is waiting on something that is waiting on that I/O process.

These seem like less of a way to detect AI specifically, and more of a way to detect plagarism.

It's a basic trick: you copy existing text, then find-and-replace with synonyms to avoid automatic detection.

This is often done poorly, resulting in book reports about how Enormous Sibling is Viewing You, or strategy guides telling you to take on the Pokemon Recreation Center before you fight Team Missile.
