OpenAI Discontinues AI Text Classifier
Jul 20th, 2023Product
-
OpenAI introduced an AI classifier aimed to distinguish between AI-written and human-written text.
-
The classifier was taken offline on July 20, 2023, due to low accuracy, marking 26% true positives and 9% false positives.
-
Limitations included poor performance on short texts, different languages, predictable text, and possible evasion by editing AI-written text.
-
OpenAI is seeking feedback and working on more effective text provenance techniques to improve the classifier.
-
The classifier's development, its impact on educators, and ongoing engagement with stakeholders are discussed.
