Cheaters beware: ChatGPT maker releases AI detection tool

Or, if your student submits a grammatically-perfect paper on "The Phenomenon of Modularity in General and the Concepts of Umwelt, Coverage, and Hylozoism" but can barely tell you what they ate for breakfast that morning, you might have a case for suspicion.

OpenAI cautions that its new tool – like others already available – is not foolproof. The method for detecting AI-written text “is imperfect and it will be wrong sometimes,” said Jan Leike, head of OpenAI's alignment team tasked to make its systems safer.

How long did it take internet pirates to rip out DRM and copy protection watermarks?

If you are in the economics faculty, then you’re fine because ChatGPT will have a hard time finding or delivering something that is expected

I'm using ChatGPT to write a series of study sheets and role-plays for various faculty students in my university. It has no problem with Economics.

You do need to rewrite a few parts here and there, and it's written pretty much what I would like to write, but has sped up the process ten-fold! What would probably take me about a year to complete, (I'm pursuing 6 books with approximately 16 units each, in total), thanks to ChatGPT, can be whittled down to about 2 months.

Nothing to fear, I have tested it on linguistic, mathematical and computer programming capabilities. I can assure you it’s really quite impressive at a first glance but still nothing that should raise any fears or doubts on own, human capabilities. So what’s the problem when some pupils use it for their homework? There isn’t any. They will then fail in the real test environment, when they have to pass a test at school and give it handwritten to their teachers. Long ago, when there still wasn’t any computer, sometimes parents made the homework for their kids. That also helped the parents only, on refreshing forgotten knowledge.

@Belrick Maybe your university should pay ChatGPT instead of you. Seeing as it's doing most of the legwork.

In other words A I = Artificially Improved

If their software was any good, nothing - human or software - would be able to tell the difference.

Given the propensity of Americans to reach for their lawyer, expect fireworks over the false positives.

I think some educational establishments have worked out that AI-assisted papers will make their dumber students grade much better, which will make them, as teachers, schools and universities, look better, and rise up the rankings. So I guess they are happy to surf the AI wave and bag any freebies on offer, regardless of the ethical issues.

Instead of avoiding it, some teachers are planning to incorporate ChatGPT into their curricula instead:

"We taught people how to do math in a world with calculators," he said. Now the challenge is for educators to teach students how the world has changed again, and how they can adapt to that.
