How to Detect AI-Generated Text, According to Researchers

AI-generated text, from tools like ChatGPT, is starting to impact daily life. OpenAI, which is behind ChatGPT, dropped another tool made to scan text that’s over 1,000 characters long and make a judgment call. Just as English-language data is often of the highest priority to those behind AI text generators, most tools for AI-text detection are currently best suited to benefit English speakers. “But the goal of these companies is to make machine text that is as close as possible to human text.” Does this mean all hope of synthetic media detection is lost? Goldstein worked on a recent paper researching possible watermark methods that could be built into the large language models powering AI text generators.
