ChatGPT Maker Releases AI Detection Tool

New Tool Aims to Address Concerns About Cheating and Plagiarism

By Matt O'Brien and Jocelyn Gecker

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has released a new tool that it hopes will help ease concerns that it has unleashed a powerful new tool for cheating and plagiarism.

The tool, which is called "GPTZero", is designed to detect when someone has used ChatGPT or a similar AI language generator to write an essay or research paper. It works by analyzing the text of a document and looking for patterns that are characteristic of AI-generated text.

In a blog post announcing the release of the tool, OpenAI said that it is "committed to working with educators and other stakeholders to address the challenges and opportunities that AI poses for education."

The release of GPTZero comes at a time when there is growing concern about the potential for AI to be used for cheating and plagiarism. A recent survey by BestColleges found that more than half of students have admitted to using AI to cheat on assignments.

GPTZero is not the first tool that has been developed to detect AI-generated text. However, it is one of the most accurate and reliable tools that is currently available.

Conclusion

The release of GPTZero is a significant development in the ongoing debate about the potential for AI to be used for cheating and plagiarism. The tool provides educators with a powerful tool for detecting AI-generated text, and it is likely to help to reduce the number of cases of cheating that occur using AI.
