OpenAI’s bot responds to prompts with text inspired by data on the Internet.
San Francisco:
The creators of the ChatGPT bot caused a stir on Tuesday for its ability to mimic human writing, a tool designed to detect whether written works have been authored by artificial intelligence.
The announcement came amid intense debate in schools and universities in the United States and around the world over concerns that the software could be used to help students with assignments and cheat during exams.
US-based OpenAI said in a blog post on Tuesday that its detection tools have been “trained to differentiate between human-written text and AI-written text from different providers.”
OpenAI’s bot, which recently received a massive cash injection from Microsoft, responds to simple prompts with text inspired by data collected across the internet.
OpenAI cautioned that its tool can make mistakes, especially with text less than 1,000 characters long.
“While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, we believe that good classifiers can report mitigation for false claims that AI-generated text was written by a human,” OpenAI said in the post. Was.”
“For example, running automated misinformation campaigns, using AI tools to commit academic dishonesty, and AI chatbots posing as humans.”
A top French university last week banned students from using ChatGPT to complete assignments, the first such ban on a college in the country.
After writing essays on subjects ranging from constitutional law to taxation, Chatgpt passed an exam at an American law school.
ChatGPT still makes factual mistakes, but education facilities have been quick to ban the AI tool.
“We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and it is equally important to recognize the limitations and implications of AI generated text classifiers in the classroom,” OpenAI said in the post.
“We are engaging with teachers in the US to learn what they are seeing in their classrooms and to discuss the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT.”
Officials in New York and other jurisdictions have prohibited its use in schools.
A group of Australian universities have said they will change exam formats to eliminate AI tools and consider them cheating.
OpenAI said it recommends using the classifier only with English text because it performs poorly in other languages.
