- OpenAI has developed a method to detect when someone uses ChatGPT to write essays or assignments.
- The method utilizes a watermarking system that is 99.9% effective at identifying AI-generated text.
- However, the tool has not yet been rolled out due to internal concerns and mixed reactions within the company.
When OpenAI launched ChatGPT towards the end of 2022, educators expressed concerns that students would use the platform to cheat on assignments and tests. To prevent this, numerous companies have rolled out AI detection tools, but they haven’t been the best at producing reliable results.
OpenAI has now revealed that it has developed a method to detect when someone uses ChatGPT to write (via The Washington Post). The technology is said to be 99.9% effective and essentially uses a system capable of predicting what word or phrase (called “token”) would come next in a sentence. The AI-detection tool slightly alters the tokens, which then leaves a watermark. This watermark is undetectable to the human eye but can be spotted by the tool in question.
