Censorship and domain adaptation significantly undermine the effectiveness of automated detection methods in identifying machine-generated tweets.
الملخص
This study presents a comprehensive methodology for creating nine Twitter datasets to examine the generative capabilities of four prominent large language models (LLMs): Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen2, and GPT4o. The datasets encompass four censored and five uncensored model configurations, including 7B and 8B parameter base-instruction models of the three open-source LLMs.
The researchers conducted a data quality analysis to assess the characteristics of textual outputs from human, "censored," and "uncensored" models. They evaluated semantic meaning, lexical richness, structural patterns, content characteristics, and detector performance metrics to identify differences and similarities.
The results demonstrate that "uncensored" models significantly undermine the effectiveness of automated detection methods. The "uncensored" models exhibit greater lexical richness, a larger vocabulary, and higher bigram diversity and entropy compared to "censored" models and human text. However, they also show higher toxicity levels across multiple categories, though often lower than human-produced content.
The study addresses a critical gap by exploring smaller open-source models and the ramifications of "uncensoring," providing valuable insights into how domain adaptation and content moderation strategies influence both the detectability and structural characteristics of machine-generated text.

"Uncensored" models generally have lower rejection rates than their "censored" counterparts during post-processing.
"Uncensored" models exhibit higher bigram diversity, entropy, and toxicity levels across multiple categories compared to "censored" models and human text.
Detector performance declines significantly for "uncensored" models, particularly in the Mistral-Hermes variant.
