OpenAI, which released the viral ChatGPT chatbot last year, unveiled a tool that's intended to help show if text has been authored by an artificial intelligence program and passed off as human. The tool will flag content written by OpenAI's products as well as other AI authoring software. However, the company said "it still has a number of limitations -- so it should be used as a complement to other methods of determining the source of text instead of being the primary decision-making tool." In the Microsoft Corp.-backed company's evaluations, only 26% of AI-written text was correctly identified. It also flagged 9% of human-written text as being composed by AI. The tool, called a classifier, will be available as a web app, along with some resources for teachers, the company said in a statement Tuesday.

It's no secret that ChatGPT, the large language model-powered artificial intelligence from OpenAI, has taken the internet by storm. Everyone is talking about it, everywhere online--Gizmodo included. The AI chatbot can almost instantly generate paragraphs of human-like, fluid text in answer to basically any prompt you can come up with (just don't rely on it to do your math homework correctly, or provide an accurate substitute for researched writing). And the scope of ChatGPT's ascent is probably even more astounding than you think. The chatbot has become the fastest growing consumer-facing application in history, according to a new analysis from Swiss investment bank, UBS, as reported by multiple financial outlets.

ChatGPT, the popular artificial intelligence chatbot, has reached 100 million users just two months after launching, according to analysts. It had about 590m visits in January from 100 million unique visitors, according to analysis by data firm Similarweb. Analysts at investment bank UBS said the rate of growth was unprecedented for a consumer app. "In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app," UBS analysts wrote in the note, reported by Reuters. By comparison it took TikTok about nine months after its global launch to reach 100 million users and Instagram more than two years, according to data from Sensor Tower, an app analysis firm.

Google is one of the biggest companies on Earth. Google's search engine is the front door to the internet. And according to recent reports, Google is scrambling. Late last year, OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company at the forefront of the field, released ChatGPT. Alongside Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition and fallout from FTX's crypto implosion, breathless chatter about ChatGPT and generative AI has been ubiquitous.

ChatGPT has taken the tech world by storm in just a few short months. The viral success of the chatbot, made by OpenAI, has caused a huge ripple across the tech industry. Venture capitalists are betting big on startups that are getting in on the craze, even as Google moves quickly to address the threat that ChatGPT poses to its core search business. In 2022, investors put at least $1.37 billion into generative AI startups, usually at the seed stage. That's almost as much as what was invested in the market in the previous five years combined, according to PitchBook.

Have you been worried that ChatGPT, the AI language generator, could be used maliciously--to cheat on schoolwork or broadcast disinformation? You're in luck, sort of: OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, has introduced a new tool that tries to determine the likelihood that a chunk of text you provide was AI-generated. I say "sort of" because the new software faces the same limitations as ChatGPT itself: It might spread disinformation about the potential for disinformation. As OpenAI explains, the tool will likely yield a lot of false positives and negatives, sometimes with great confidence. In one example, given the first lines of the Book of Genesis, the software concluded that it was likely to be AI-generated.

You'd have to have been living under the proverbial rock over the last 60 days, not to have heard about ChatGPT, a variant of the GPT (generative pre-training transformer) language model designed to generate human-like text in a conversational context. The technology has received massive attention, with predictions that it will do everything from "reshape humanity" to the old chestnuts of taking over human jobs and/or hijacking democracy. But does ChatGPT deserve all this praise? First, ChatGPT is only as good as what it's been trained on, so it may not be able to generate responses to prompts or situations that are not reflected in its training data. ChatGPT's algorithms haven't been trained on any data after 2021, so if you ask it to write something about current news events, it comes up empty.

You'd think that collaborative chatting programs like Slack or Teams wouldn't need too many bells and whistles in order to be effective tools. Microsoft would beg to differ. The new Teams Premium tier not only includes the usual unlimited messages and better organizational tools, it's adding exclusive powers enabled by OpenAI's GPT 3.5 language model. The new tier will be $10 per month per user starting on June 30th, but you can get a cheaper preview for $7 until then. What does the fancy AI do?

Fresh off the heels of news that Microsoft is making a multibillion-dollar investment into OpenAI, it's integrating the company's tech into more of its products and services. Microsoft has announced that Teams Premium is now broadly available. The service features large language models powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5, along with other tech geared toward making meetings "more intelligent, personalized and protected," Microsoft says. Teams Premium offers AI-generated chapters in PowerPoint Live and "personalized timeline markers for when you leave and join a meeting." Live translations in captions are currently available too.
