New software can recognise AI-generated writing with 98 per cent accuracy, its creators claim.
An American company has released software that it claims can detect text generated by a computer rather than a human with 98 per cent confidence but critics say it could also capture innocent students.identify non-genuine work with almost perfect confidenceThe company, which has a near-monopoly in Australia and elsewhere for its plagiarism detection software, has been working on new capabilities to identify AI-generated text for the past two years.
“And so when they’re asked to write something, they look for the most likely word to come next after this on that topic, whereas humans have a tiny fraction of the knowledge of one of these models. Toby Walsh, the chief scientist with the AI Institute at the University of NSW, said he doubted the claim about 98 per cent accuracy but added the software would act as a deterrent if students knew it was being used by institutions.“There’s no tool that can tell you with certainty if writing is generated by AI because it’s not like plagiarism where it can point to this text on the internet and this word or words are identical,” he said.
While there are other forms of free AI detection software available, Mr Thorley said Turnitin had brought the software to market within four months of ChatGPT being released and would continue to “tweak” it over the coming months.
