aren't the ones using llms busted in that case?

It sounds like the only person we know was using LLMs was the plaintiff. He believes the court was as well, but I'm not aware of any reason to believe his accusation

If nobody at the court was using an LLM how was his hidden text discovered?

I read the article. It was enlightening.

I read another article on it and it was never mentioned.

I haven't read the article but, couldn't sometime just read the submission and look for the bit that says "forget all previous instructions..." and so on.

These things are usually hidden to the human eye unless you specifically look for them.
