Has any research been done to try and determine the percentage of the population that are able to detect obvious LLM-generated text?
majority of population dont read anything at all. Most they a read is perhaps labels and signs at a supermarket.

#14I'm a bit skeptical of arguments of the form, "You should not use LLMs without disclosure because LLMs at bad at writing."
My reasoning is: If LLMs get better at writing—which I think is extremely likely—will you switch positions and say that now using LLMs without disclosure is A-OK?
Surely some people are willing to bite that bullet and say yes. But for most people, my guess is that the answer will remain no. Thus, I tend to think that the "real" reason most of us don't like it when people use LLMs to write without disclosure is that it's misleading: It's a sort of a claim that certain thoughts can be attributed to a human being when in fact they can't.

What makes you say that? It reads naturally to me and Pangram flags it as 100% human. I've never heard an AI use the "fly is open" analogy.

I think there's probably a large chunk who "read" Facebook and skim the linked articles poorly.

#17When I log into LinkedIn, it seems like a vast majority of the posts are there to farm credibility and build a personal brand.
Pre LLMs, I found it all to be pretty gross. Post LLMs, my reaction to being on the receiving end of that is to find it pretty intellectually insulting.
There are ways in which using an LLM is branding suicide.

Talk to a lawyer about that firing. You might have a case.

#19That's a suspicious number of em-dashes for something that's allegedly against LLMs.
You think it's the em dashes and not the absurd Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon analogy?

Who decide what is obvious or not?
