ChatGPT: Is it possible to detect AI-generated text?

A few weeks after the launch of ChatGPT, a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Darren Hick said he caught one of his students cheating by submitting a robot-generated essay. The new technology, released by OpenAI and openly available to the public, can pretty much do anything. Type a request and it can write a persuasive school essay, compose a song or even crack a silly knock-knock joke within a few seconds. Although it can write convincingly, it doesn't mean that what it says is true. That's what set off alarm bells for Hick, an assistant professor of philosophy at Furman University, in the US state of South Carolina.
