OpenAI's new tool may help you identify text written by ChatGPT

OpenAI has released a tool to help you determine whether text was more likely written by a human or AI. However, the ChatGPT maker warns that its equivalent of Blade Runner's Voight-Kampff test can also get it wrong. The tool includes a box where you can paste text that's at least 1,000 characters long. It will then spit out a verdict, like "The classifier considers the text to be very unlikely AI-generated" or "The classifier considers the text to be possibly AI-generated." I tested it by prompting ChatGPT to write an essay about the migratory patterns of birds, which the detection tool then described as "possibly AI-generated."
