Can't the ai companies sell to schools the ability to check paper submissions against recent outputs?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a related FAQ, they also officially admit what we already know: AI writing detectors don't work, despite frequently being used to punish students with false positives.
In July, we covered in depth why AI writing detectors such as GPTZero don't work, with experts calling them "mostly snake oil."
That same month, OpenAI discontinued its AI Classifier, which was an experimental tool designed to detect AI-written text.
Along those lines, OpenAI also addresses its AI models' propensity to confabulate false information, which we have also covered in detail at Ars.
"Sometimes, ChatGPT sounds convincing, but it might give you incorrect or misleading information (often called a 'hallucination' in the literature)," the company writes.
