A developer built a classifier to detect LLM-assisted writing in ML papers and ran it on all 42,000+ ICLR 2027 submissions, publishing sentence-level results in an integrated PDF viewer. The data shows 23,459 papers (55.3% of scored results) have 95–100% of sentences flagged as AI-assisted, meaning over half the submissions appear nearly fully AI-written. The detector's false positive rate on held-out human sentences is 0.1%.
