Even though OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the internet by storm, it has also resulted in concerns over cheating and plagiarism as students can use it to do their assignments and essays. Teachers are in a dilemma as they find it difficult to see if a student did the homework himself or handed it over to ChatGPT. ChatGPT can generate a wide range of outputs and is capable of conversing like humans.
To discern if a piece of writing is created by the student or ChatGPT, a range of tools have popped up. They include tools from OpenAI, ChatGPT’s creator itself to address the concerns teachers and educators have expressed over ChatGPT’s use by students.
Having said that, let’s take a look at some of the tools you can use to detect ChatGPT-generated content:
OpenAI Text Classifier
The AI Text Classifier was released on 31st January 2023 by OpenAI. It is a refined GPT model that predicts the probability of a text being generated by AI from a range of sources that includes ChatGPT. You need to have an OpenAI ChatGPT account first. Then, visit https://platform.openai.com/ai-text-classifier and log in using your ChatGPT account details.
GPTZero
This tool was built by Edward Tian, a student at Princeton University. To determine if the text was AI-generated or written by a human using burstiness and perplexity. Let’s briefly take a look at both.
Burstiness relates the sentence variation. When it comes to human writing, they are more likely to construct longer and more complex sentences and shorter ones, which increases the perplexity in human writing. However, with machine-generated sentences, the construction is more uniform throughout.
The randomness of the text refers to perplexity. A text is more likely to be human-written if it has high complexity. The lower the perplexity, the greater the chances of it being AI-generated.
GPT-2 Output Detector
This tool detects if a text generated was GPT-2. The tool was hosted on Hugging Face and uses the RoBERTa base OpenAI Detector model. It happens to be a RoBERTa base model, adjusted with the output of the 1.5B-parameter GPT-2 model.
Originality.AI
If you want to have a tool that detects Chat-GPT-generated text and comes with a wide range of features for an affordable price, Originality is a good option. It is a modern plagiarism checker and ChatGPT content detector. The website reports that the tool is a creation of GPT-3 AI experts and a team of content marketers. The creators deeply comprehend user needs and therefore provided features like Full Site Scan, Team Management, Scan History by User, and Auto Billing in Originality. AI. The most important feature is the AI Writing Detection tool that lets you identify AI-generated text.
Originality also claims that it can detect text produced by ChatGPT, GPT 3.5 with the same precision as it can for GPT-3, which happens to be an impressive 94%.
The AI content generation tools present today are good. However, you might need to run a couple of them as they cannot be 100% accurate.
