AI-Generated Text Detectors Reportedly Misclassified Human and AI-Written Text
Description
AI-generated text detectors, including OpenAI’s AI Text Classifier, GPTZero, and Originality.ai, were publicly tested in early 2023 and reportedly produced false positives, false negatives, and easy evasion. OpenAI said its classifier identified only 26% of AI-written samples as likely AI-written and falsely labeled 9% of human-written text.
