通过恢复隐藏提示检测大模型生成文本，效果优于现有方法。

Large language models (LLMs) can generate fluent and convincing text at scale, creating growing risks for misinformation dissemination, educational misuse, and platform governance. These concerns make robust detection of machine-generated text increasingly necessary. Recent zero-shot detectors mainly exploit probability-based statistical discrepancies, but they do not explicitly account for the training process of LLMs, which leaves a distinct generation mechanism insufficiently modeled and limits detection robustness. To address this issue, we propose EchoPrompt, a training-free detector based on latent prompt restoration. Our key intuition is that machine-generated text is typically produced conditioned on an upstream prompt, and this hidden dependency can be partially reactivated by prepending a unified generic prefix. Specifically, EchoPrompt restores a generic assistant-response context, measures the induced likelihood gain with an instruction-tuned model, calibrates it against the corresponding base model, and aggregates the resulting differences into a score that quantifies latent prompt dependency. Extensive experiments show that EchoPrompt achieves state-of-the-art performance among zero-shot detectors while maintaining strong robustness across challenging evaluation settings.
