# IdeaShift
IdeaShift measures whether an AI-text detector tracks **who came up with a document's ideas** or **who wrote its
prose**. It holds 500 seed documents and, for each, six documents written by GPT-5.6 models from prompts that carry
progressively more of the seed's plan. All 3,000 generated documents are AI-written prose. When the seed is
human-written, the later levels carry more and more of a person's ideas.
## Construction
- **Seeds:** 500 English web documents from the test split of
[WildOutlines](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishanthrajendhran/WildOutlines), 62-63 per format across eight
long-form formats. 237 are human-written and 263 AI-generated, per the Pangram silver labels of that corpus.
- **Prompts:** for each seed, GPT-5.6 Sol wrote a prompt at each level:
| Level | The prompt gives |
|---|---|
| 0 | the document type only |
| 1 | a very high-level focus |
| 2 | the seed's global themes |
| 3 | themes and the sequence of roles |
| 4 | themes and the full outline, as a plan to follow |
| 5 | the seed's full role-labelled outline, with an instruction to add nothing else |
- **Generation:** one GPT-5.6 model per seed (Sol for 250 seeds, Terra for 125, Luna for 125) wrote a document from
each prompt.
An idea detector should flag every document from an AI seed. On human seeds it should flag fewer documents as the
level rises, because more of the ideas come from the person. A prose detector should flag every generated document.
## Splits
| Split | Rows | What it holds |
|---|---:|---|
| `source` | 500 | the seed documents: 237 human-written, 263 AI-generated (`seed_author`) |
| `level_0` | 500 | one document per seed, written from the document type only |
| `level_1` | 500 | ... from a very high-level focus |
| `level_2` | 500 | ... from the seed's global themes |
| `level_3` | 500 | ... from the themes and the sequence of roles |
| `level_4` | 500 | ... from the themes and the full outline, as a plan to follow |
| `level_5` | 500 | ... from the seed's full outline, with an instruction to add nothing else |
Rows in different splits share `seed_id`. `load_dataset("rishanthrajendhran/IdeaShift", split="level_5")` loads one level.
## Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `id` | document id; generated documents are `<seed_id>\|<condition>` |
| `seed_id` | the seed document |
| `level` | 0-5 for generated documents; null for the seed itself |
| `level_name` | what the prompt carried |
| `seed_author` | `human` or `ai`: who wrote the seed (Pangram silver label) |
| `prose_author` | who wrote this document's prose (`ai` for every generated document) |
| `generator` | the GPT-5.6 model that wrote the document |
| `system_prompt`, `prompt` | the exact generation request |
| `format`, `topic` | WebOrganizer format and topic of the seed |
| `words`, `text` | the document |
| `outline` | the paraphrased, role-labelled outline IdeaLens scored (JSON string) |
| `idealens_p_ai`, `proselens_p_ai`, `pangram4_p_ai` | detector P(AI) as reported in the paper |
## Caveats
- Seed labels are Pangram's silver labels of the whole page, not ground truth about how each page was written.
- A level describes what the prompt contained, not a measured share of human ideas.
## Scoring
The [idealens](https://github.com/RishanthRajendhran/IdeaLens) package ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/idealens/)) runs IdeaLens, ProseLens and the other released detectors on these documents: `pip install idealens`, then `idealens run` on a JSONL file with a `text` field.
All IdeaLens models and datasets are in the [IdeaLens collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/rishanthrajendhran/idealens-6abee785ce6196fc0be9200f).
