10% is a lot! And why would this slow down the cheating epidemic? There’s tons of ways like declaude etc to get around the check. Also Claude’s style is very distinctive (e.g. “load bearing”) AND has changed since 4.5 quite dramatically. I might not be able to tell on a specific response, but I can tell you that I went from canceling my ChatGPT plan in November, to now reaching for it first and considering cancelling Claude because its style is getting really groan-inducing. It’s weird because I thought ChatGPT was really annoying about a year ago, and now codex is my first choice.

Is the cheating epidemic so bad? I’m a little out of the loop there truthfully, what are the consequences of not being able to detect AI generated text in non academic settings? And in academic settings… maybe I am underestimating the challenge, but it does feel like the assignment and ways education happens needs to change?

As an aside, I’m not totally sure why this solution feels so icky to me. There’s something Orwellian about how the phrasing of a passage embeds hidden information that only Anthropic can see i guess
