I think it’s a little more complex than that, but not much. Humans can’t tell LLM writing from human writing in controlled studies. The question isn’t whether you can hide the style or even if it’s hard, just how easy.
I am quite confident I can tell LLM writing from human writing. Yes, there are prompts sufficient to fool me, but only for a bit until I pick up on it. Adding “don’t write in a standard LLM style” would not be enough, and my guess is nothing that takes less than half an hour to figure out would be enough.
I concede the point. That’s a high bar for getting LLM submissions past you. I don’t know of studies that tested people who’d actually practiced detecting LLM writing.
I’d still be more comfortable with a disclosure criteria of some sort, but I don’t have a great argument beyond valuing transparency and honesty.
