OpenAI Develops Tool to Detect AI-Generated Text, But May Not Release It
OpenAI’s ChatGPT has revolutionized text generation, but raised concerns about plagiarism and cheating. To address this, OpenAI has developed a text watermarking method to detect AI-generated text. However, its release is uncertain due to internal discussions and user opposition. Nearly a third of loyal ChatGPT users are against releasing this technology, citing potential negative impacts on non-English users who rely on ChatGPT for productive tasks and translation.
