detectors

detectors is an R data package containing predictions from various GPT detectors. The data is based on the paper:

GPT Detectors Are Biased Against Non-Native English Writers.Weixin Liang, Mert Yuksekgonul, Yining Mao, Eric Wu, James Zou.CellPress Patterns.

The study authors carried out a series of experiments passing a number of essays to different GPT detection models. Juxtaposing detector predictions for papers written by native and non-native English writers, the authors argue that GPT detectors disproportionately classify real writing from non-native English writers as AI-generated.

Installation

You can install the data package with the following code:

require(pak)
pak("simonpcouch/detectors")

Example

Taking a look at the data:

An example plot demonstrates the distributions of predicted probabilities that a text sample was written by AI depending on the GPT detector model and lived experience in writing English of the author:

detectors_plot <- 
  detectors[!is.na(detectors$native), ] %>%
  ggplot() +
  aes(x = detector, y = .pred_AI, fill = native) +
  geom_violin(bw = .05) +
  labs(
    x = "GPT Detector Tool",
    y = "Predicted Probability That\nSample Was Written by AI",
    fill = "Native\nEnglish\nWriter"
  ) +
  theme_minimal() +
  scale_fill_brewer(type = "qual") +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, vjust = 1, hjust = 1))
