It&amp;#x27;s common practice in synthetic data generation for ML to try and classify real vs synthetic data to see if they have different distributions. This is how a GAN works for example. Point is, this isn&amp;#x27;t new or some feature of LLMs, it&amp;#x27;s just an indicator that synthetic datasets differ from whatever they call &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; data and there&amp;#x27;s enough signal to classify them. Interesting result but doesn&amp;#x27;t…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1409.7495/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
