## Abstract (arXiv)

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly participate in writing by modifying or extending human drafts, causing machine involvement to vary in both form and extent. Yet most Machine-Generated Text (MGT) detectors are evaluated only on fully human-written versus fully AI-generated text. Because human--AI collaboration can weaken or redistribute cues associated with machine generation, strong performance under this binary setting may overstate detector reliability. This mismatch remains underexplored in Chinese: detection cues are shaped by tokenization and language-specific text distributions, yet controlled resources spanning production settings, domains, and generators remain limited. To fill this gap, we present a Chinese Human-AI Collaborative Text Detection Benchmark (C-HAT-Bench), a unified benchmark that links 5,000 human-written source texts from five domains to more than 240,000 variants produced using six generative models under Prefix-Conditioned Continuation as a reference setting and three collaborative production modes. We evaluate 21 detectors through four protocols spanning zero-shot and pretrained supervised document-level detection, boundary localization, and cross-condition generalization. Relative to Prefix-Conditioned Continuation, mean AUROC across document-level detectors is 12.0% lower on the collaborative production modes, with the largest detector-specific relative decrease reaching 44.4%. Transfer across collaborative production modes is also asymmetric, indicating that performance in a given production setting is not a reliable predictor of performance in other production settings.
