Abstract

Recently, large language models (LLMs) are capable of generating highly fluent textual content. While they offer significant convenience to humans, they also introduce various risks, like phishing and academic dishonesty. Numerous research efforts have been dedicated to developing algorithms for detecting AI-generated text and constructing relevant datasets. However, in the domain of Chinese corpora, challenges remain, including limited model diversity and data homogeneity. To address these issues, we propose C-ReD: a comprehensive Chinese Real-prompt AI-generated Detection benchmark. Experiments demonstrate that C-ReD not only enables reliable in-domain detection but also supports strong generalization to unseen LLMs and external Chinese datasets-addressing critical gaps in model diversity, domain coverage, and prompt realism that have limited prior Chinese detection benchmarks. We release our resources at https://github.com/HeraldofLight/C-ReD.
