arXiv:2610.09976v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-generated text (AIGT) detection can be sensitive to the decoding choices of the source large language model (LLM). We observe that perturbing next-token logits or adjusting sampling temperature can reduce detection performance, providing a clear signal of detector vulnerability to decoding-time distribution changes. Building on this observation, we propose EASE (Entropy-Adaptive Distribution Shaping for Evasion), a training-free and detector-agnostic framework for evading AIGT detectors. EASE computes predictive entropy directly from the source LLM's next-token distribution and uses it to adapt both logit perturbation and sampling temperature, without detector feedback or model fine-tuning. Experiments across three source LLMs and multiple detectors demonstrate consistent reductions in detection performance, with negligible degradation in text quality and negligible inference overhead.
