How Meta AI text gives itself away
Meta AI is Meta's assistant in WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger and on Facebook. Meta also releases models with open weights, such as the Llama series, so its technology runs in third-party apps too.
The check does not find out where a text was written. It measures how even the sentences are, the paragraph structure and how predictable the word choice is, which is what the output of large models has in common.
