I Hear, Therefore I Trust: A Socio-Technical Investigation of Humans as Synthetic Speech Detectors
Researchers conducted a study with 47 participants to evaluate how humans detect synthetic speech, testing detection accuracy across authentic, fully synthetic, and partially synthetic utterances under various trust manipulation conditions. The findings reveal that humans perform poorly at detecting fully synthetic speech (below-chance levels) and that trust cues like instructional framing and provenance labeling do not significantly improve detection, though they influence detection behavior.
