Abstract

Through an analysis of arXiv papers, we report several shifts in word usage that are likely driven by large language models (LLMs) but have not previously received sufficient attention, such as the increased frequency of "beyond" and "via" in titles and the decreased frequency of "the" and "of" in abstracts. Due to the similarities among different LLMs, experiments show that current classifiers struggle to accurately determine which specific model generated a given text in multi-class classification tasks. Meanwhile, variations across LLMs also result in evolving patterns of word usage in academic papers. By adopting a direct and highly interpretable linear approach and accounting for differences between models and prompts, we quantitatively assess these effects and show that real-world LLM usage is heterogeneous and dynamic.

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

  • This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
  • The abstract does not clearly describe the evaluation setup.
  • The abstract does not clearly name benchmarks or metrics.
