侵蚀真相默认值:基础模型幻觉与虚假信息在真实环境中对人类易感性的因果分析
Eroding the Truth-Default: A Causal Analysis of Human Susceptibility to Foundation Model Hallucinations and Disinformation in the Wild

中文摘要
随着基础模型(foundation models, FMs)接近人类水平的流畅度,区分合成内容与真实内容已成为可信网络智能的关键挑战。本文提出 JudgeGPT 与 RogueGPT 双轴框架,将“真实性”与“归因”解耦,以研究人类易感性的机制。通过分析五种基础模型(包括 GPT-4 和 Llama-2)上的 918 次评估,采用结构因果模型(Structural Causal Models, SCMs)作为主要框架,构建关于检测准确率的可检验因果假设。与党派叙事相反,政治倾向与检测表现关联可忽略(r=-0.10)。相反,“假新闻熟悉度”成为候选中介变量(r=0.35),表明接触可能对人类辨别者起到对抗训练的作用。研究识别出“流畅性陷阱”:GPT-4 输出(HumanMachineScore: 0.20)绕过来源监控机制,使其与人类文本难以区分。这些发现表明,“预揭穿”干预应针对认知来源监控而非人口统计细分,以确保可信的信息生态系统。

原始英文摘要
arXiv:2601.22871v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As foundation models (FMs) approach human-level fluency, distinguishing synthetic from organic content has become a key challenge for Trustworthy Web Intelligence. This paper presents JudgeGPT and RogueGPT, a dual-axis framework that decouples "authenticity" from "attribution" to investigate the mechanisms of human susceptibility. Analyzing 918 evaluations across five FMs (including GPT-4 and Llama-2), we employ Structural Causal Models (SCMs) as a principal framework for formulating testable causal hypotheses about detection accuracy. Contrary to partisan narratives, we find that political orientation shows a negligible association with detection performance ($r=-0.10$). Instead, "fake news familiarity" emerges as a candidate mediator ($r=0.35$), suggesting that exposure may function as adversarial training for human discriminators. We identify a "fluency trap" where GPT-4 outputs (HumanMachineScore: 0.20) bypass Source Monitoring mechanisms, rendering them indistinguishable from human text. These findings suggest that "pre-bunking" interventions should target cognitive source monitoring rather than demographic segmentation to ensure trustworthy information ecosystems.
