> Text is simply not information dense enough to be able to decode some arbitrary signal of provenance from it. Sure you might be able to detect today's tells (particular sentence structures preferred by Claude, phrases, etc) to get you some arbitrary chance percentage it was machine generated, but it's a bad fiction to perpetuate that any of this is anything more than tarot card reading.

This is simply untrue, and completely divorced from reality.

Tarot card readings have literally zero predictive success. Last I checked, LLM-detection had a +90% success.
