OpenAI pulls AI detector tool

by on26 July 2023


To be fair it didn't work very well

OpenAI has quietly pulled a took which promised to detect if content had been created using generative AI tools

In January, artificial intelligence powerhouse OpenAI announced AI Classifier which it thought could detect cheating in essays. Half a year later, that tool is dead, killed because it couldn't do what it was designed to do.

ChatGPT creator OpenAI quietly unplugged its AI detection tool, AI Classifier, last week because of "its low rate of accuracy," the firm said.

The explanation was not in a new announcement, but added in a note added to the blog post that first announced the tool. The link to OpenAI's classifier is no longer available.

"We are working to incorporate feedback and are currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated," OpenAI wrote.

So, in the meantime, humanity and particularly teachers having to grade papers, are doomed.
