Ah voice-verified

You you love Taylor Slift. voice-verified

I'm just kidding. voice-verified

That's sad. voice-verified

But uh so the idea is then you you essentially break these things into all the things that could possibly be, and you uprank some and you downrank some in order to create a certain kind of slightly slanted version of the output. voice-verified

So there there are going to be words that the text doesn't use. voice-verified

It's going to use certain words more often, but it is basically upranking and downranking certain answers to. voice-verified

the question. voice-verified

And then it's it's able to over time, it the the way they use red and green is like you you take all the possible answers, split them into red group and green group, and you only use the green group or you mostly use the green group in the actual text that you're predicting. voice-verified

Then if you go back and you say, oh, that's so weird, this is four paragraphs of it always picked the green one, suddenly you have an incredibly high likelihood that this thing was generated by AI. voice-verified

And that's essentially the idea, is rather than embed some extra character, this is why Enthropic is able to say, if you copy and paste the text, it will carry with it, because it is the text itself. voice-verified

The way that it was predicted and the the order in which and the types of words that are actually used are the ones that reveal that it was created by AI. voice-verified

The paper is fascinating. voice-verified

It's it's deep and weird, but it it seems to work. voice-verified

And it especially works on long text. voice-verified

And and that's a big deal because one of the things that Claude even will do in this case, they'd say, is not do a great job with short text. voice-verified

One of their like cautions is if the text isn't long enough, it may not be reliable. voice-verified

But with like multi-paragraph stuff, you're gonna get to the point where statistically it is incredibly unlikely. voice-verified

actually that a human would have written this same set of things in exactly the way that we have slightly geared Claude to do. voice-verified

honest answer, Colin. voice-verified
