When people judge blindly, the are more likely to think the human is the AI and the AI is the human.

73% judged GPT 4o to be the human.

Not only are people bad at judging this, but are directionally wrong.

There is research showing the contrary that is far more convincing:

> Our experiments show that annotators who frequently use LLMs for writing tasks excel at detecting AI-generated text, even without any specialized training or feedback. In fact, the majority vote among five such “expert” annotators misclassifies only 1 of 300 articles, significantly outperforming most commercial and open-source detectors we evaluated even in the presence of evasion tactics like paraphrasing and humanization.
