You've done all the work only to be caught out by automated AI recognition[1] later.
Low stakes should probably be fine but to anyone using it for something important at least do the old rewrite-to-not-be-plagiarism trick.
I have to imagine there's going to be a lot of people regretting using GPT shortcuts soon. It'll be the equivalent of copy pasting Wikipedia by the end of the year I bet.
The next big Google search ranking update should be fun too with all the AI content mills popping up right now. If you see your rival using AI for their blog posts, start writing real content in preparation :D
>our classifier correctly identifies 26% of AI-written text (true positives) as “likely AI-written,” while incorrectly labeling human-written text as AI-written 9% of the time (false positives)
That is... not impressive. I'm honestly surprised that OpenAI was willing to release the tool in this state, it's probably the least reponsible thing they have done since calling themselves "OpenAI". Some kids are going to get expelled for no reason.
If schools start using it, solely it, for plagiarism/cheat detection then I'm right there behind you in the protest.
I'd be ok with it being a first line thing that causes a more fine tuned manual check and maybe a manual pop quiz on what the person 'wrote', though. Manual being the key word after AI does its bit.
These watermarking/"detect if someone is AI" techniques are trash, and OpenAI even admits it on their post about this. No proposed or implemented technique outside of this is even close to robust, reliable, or accurate.
It is trivial to get around even the best of these techniques. This is a cat and mouse game with a fat, lazy cat and really motivated, olympic tier mice.
Yeah, within a few years there will probably be tools that can reliably detect if a (long) passage was generated by chatGPT or not. I doubt they will be able to tell if the text was generated by whatever will replace chatGPT by that time.
Well then we wait another half year for the 'whatever will replace chatgpt' detector.
It's always been a to and fro between spam and ham. Always will be.
Unless you're releasing updates to your paper each time a new AI model comes out you're at risk of being caught out if anyone decides to do a "We found 80% of xyz to be AI generated" blog post.
This is actually kind of disgusting, because they're simply playing both sides of the fence, and to no real point other than to make money.
This doesn't advance us as a species. ChatGPT does. The point of writing is to communicate ideas, thoughts, and feelings. It shouldn't matter if an AI took your ideas, thoughts, feelings, data, experiments, and then amalgamated it into a coherent work from which others can draw meaning.
