Why is it important to detect AI-crafted content?

Well, despite the fact that it is simply a valuable skill in the digital age, there are other more important factors such as:

  • Maintaining trustworthiness of consumed information
  • Accuracy & reliability
  • Prevention of misinformation spreading

While AI can produce coherent and clear text, it may sometimes include false or inaccurate information (because LLMs tend to hallucinate a lot, especially on complex topics).

LLMs can generate information that appears factual but is ungrounded aka. without any trustworthy sources.

There are several reasons why LLMs hallucinate (e.g., hallucination from data, hallucination from training, etc.), but this topic is too broad to cover in this article.

To support my claim about hallucination, in November 2022 Meta (Ex-Facebook) showcased a demo of Galactica, a LLM which was supposed to help scientists.
