OpenAI has released an AI text classifier that attempts to detect whether input content was generated using artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. The AI Text Classifier is a fine-tuned GPT model that predicts how likely it is that a piece of text was generated by AI from a variety of sources. OpenAI released the tool today after numerous universities and K-12 school districts banned the companys popular ChatGPT AI chatbot due to its ability to complete students homework. According to BusinessInsider, ChatGPT is banned in NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Baltimore K-12 public school districts, with universities in France and India also banning the platform from school computers. BleepingComputer tested OpenAIs new AI text classifier and, for the most part, found it to be fairly inconclusive. When testing OpenAIs AI text classifier against most of our own content, it correctly determined a human wrote our articles. When analyzing content generated by ChatGPT and You.coms AI chatbot, it had a lot of difficulties detecting if the text was AI-generated. As educators will likely use the new AI Text Classifiers to check if students cheated on their homework assignments, OpenAI warns that it should not be used as the Sole piece of evidence for determining academic dishonesty. OpenAI's classifier is not fully reliable, and its success will likely improve as time passes and is trained with further data.
