OpenAI, the creator of the popular chatbot ChatGTP, has released a free tool that it says is meant to distinguish between text written by a human and text written by AIs. The tool is not fully reliable, according to OpenAI. A tool known as AI Classifier is a fine-tuned GPT model that predicts how likely it is that a piece of text is generated by AI from a variety of sources, including ChatGPT. The classifier is a language model that is based on a dataset of pairs of human-written and AI-written text on the same topic.
In a blog post, OpenAI said that while it is impossible to detect all AI-written text, we believe good classifiers can inform mitigations for false claims that AI-generated text was written by a human, such as running automated misinformation campaigns, using AI tools for academic dishonesty, and positioning an AI chatbot as a human. Our classifier is not fully reliable. Our classifier 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 Our classifier's reliability generally improves as the length of input text increases. This new classifier is more reliable than our previously released classifier on text from recent AI systems, according to OpenAI.
In its public beta mode OpenAI acknowledges some limitations of the tool, including the following:
It requires a minimum of 1,000 characters, which is approximately 150 250 words.
On November 30, 2022, OpenAI took over the internet after it released ChatGPT. The new AI, which has been hailed as a game-changer in the world of AI, is a language model trained by OpenAI to interact with humans in a conversational way. ChatGPT has made text generation and image generation a mainstream hit. Just five days after its launch, ChatGPT crossed one million users, according to a post by Open AI co-founder Sam Altman. It took Netflix 3.5 years, Facebook 10 months, Spotify 5 months and Instagram 2.5 months to reach the one million users mark.
Since its launch a month ago, ChatGPT has impressed many experts with its writing ability, proficiency in handling complex tasks, and ease of use. Altman said that the company will charge people to use the chatbot, which many people said could replace humans with the help of ChatGPT, although it is currently free to use.
In late 2015, OpenAI was founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman as a research firm in artificial intelligence AI with the goal of promoting and developing friendly AI in such a way as to benefit humanity as a whole. OpenIA aims to make its research and patents open to the public, and to collaborate with other institutions and researchers. Both founders are motivated by concerns about existential risk from artificial general intelligence.
