LLM detection tools can paradoxically increase LLM usage and reduce output quality, paper argues

A new arXiv preprint models LLM detectors as behavioral interventions and shows that imperfect detectors can produce counterintuitive outcomes: users may increase LLM usage and produce lower-quality outputs in response to detection pressure. The authors develop a stylized game-theoretic model of strategic user behavior and empirically validate a predicted 'rise-then-fall' pattern in detectable word frequencies using arXiv abstract data. The work identifies systematic failure modes for LLM detection policies deployed in academic, professional, or platform contexts.
