OpenAI, the creator of the popular chatbot ChatGTP, has released a software tool to identify text generated by artificial intelligence, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.
ChatGPT is a free program that generates text in response to
a prompt, including articles, essays, jokes and even poetry, which has gained
wide popularity since its debut in November, while raising concerns about
copyright and plagiarism.
The AI classifier, a language model trained on the dataset
of pairs of human-written and AI-written text on the same topic, aims to
distinguish text that is written by AI. It uses a variety of providers to
address issues such as automated misinformation campaigns and academic
dishonesty, the company said.
In its public beta mode, OpenAI acknowledges the detection
tool is very unreliable on texts under 1,000 characters, and AI-written text
can be edited to trick the classifier.
"We’re making this classifier publicly available to get
feedback on whether imperfect tools like this one are useful," OpenAI
said.
“We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an
important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is
recognizing the limits and impacts of AI generated text classifiers in the
classroom."
Since ChatGPT debuted in November and gained wide popularity
among millions of users, some of the largest US school districts, including New
York City, have banned the AI chatbot over concerns that students will use the
text generator to cheat or plagiarize.
Others have created third-party detection tools including
GPTZeroX to help educators detect AI-generated text.
OpenAI said it is engaging with educators to discuss
ChatGPT's capabilities and limitations, and will continue to work on the
detection of AI-generated text.
