Abstract
This paper investigates two methods for constructing a binary classifier to distinguish between human-generated and machine-generated text. The main emphasis is on a straightforward approach based on Zipf’s law, which, despite its simplicity, achieves a moderate level of performance. Additionally, the paper briefly discusses experimentation with the utilization of unigram word counts.- Anthology ID:
