New Tool Can Tell If Something Is AI-Written With 99% Accuracy

Summary

A new AI detector developed by the University of Kansas can detect AI-generated content in academic papers with a 99% accuracy rate. The model had a 100% accuracy rate of identifying human-created articles from AI-generated ones, and a 92% accuracy rate for identifying specific paragraphs within the text. Existing programs and services such as OpenAI's Classifier, Winston AI, Quill and CommonLit's AI Writing Check have accuracy rates ranging from 26% to 99%. A survey by BestColleges.com found that 89% of college students have admitted to using ChatGPT to help with assignments, while 34% of educators believe the software should be banned. The potential implications of the AI detector include making it easier to differentiate between human-written and AI-generated content, and helping to prevent people from being falsely accused of using AI for their assignments. However, there are also concerns that this could lead to people relying too heavily on AI-generated content in their writing.
