I’m not sure what you’re saying I’m wrong about.

The comment I was responding to, about changing LLM output, referred to prompting, not temp/sampling tricks. I’m not aware of Pangram being beat by clever prompting. There’s some interesting work on creative writing using contrastive prompt techniques, but I haven’t seen it tried as evasion.

Even if you control temp and sampling, they’re not magic. If you raise the temperature too much writing can go to hell, so you may beat the detector but end up with junk. There are some ways to mitigate such a quality drop like raising temperature in conjunction with min-p, but still, I haven’t read any research that shows it getting good results at anything close to 10.

Now you want to get more clever and manipulate logprobs…well ok, you could come up with elaborate strategies designed to evade specific detection methods. But I don’t see that getting done as a weekend project while maintaining writing quality. And if it does happen there’s no guarantee the detector can’t train on its characteristics and start an arms race.

As min-p approaches 1, the temperature you can get away with approaches infinity. Also more modern samplers like top-n-sigma are explicitly designed to get away with temperature of infinity.
