What's the rate of false positives.

What's the shortest piece of writing it works on.

What's the relationship to rats of false positive and length of writing.

Why are you asking questions with periods?

Because I'm a robot? I don't know, it was quite early in the morning here in aus when I wrote, and I forgot my punctuation. Which has now been fixed, thank you kind stranger.

Won't last. Adversarial training can make this obsolete very quickly. But then again "Open"AI has different priorities

Indeed, I think openAI would be more likely to e.g. use the fingerprinting work to make it automatically detectable than to do the opposite.

Twitter is not loading in the browser for me.

Frustrated I can’t just read this content and wherever it links.

Just replace 'twitter.com' with 'nitter.net' in URL. Nitter is Twitter alternative frontend. [1]

Or you can try other instances. [1]

As YouTuber and English teacher Zoey Bee said: if your assignment can be believably answered by a generative text model, maybe an essay is not the right format for testing what you are trying to test for.

Dumb kid: asks ChatGPT to write their essay for them then hands it in unchanged

Smart kid: asks ChatGPT to write first draft of their essay, then they rearrange the order, add some more points, cut out some repetition, reword it a bit, Google some real references (as opposed to the fake ones ChatGPT invents), etc. Maybe even ask ChatGPT to write two (or more) essays, and merge the best bits from each

Okay, if the kid is smart enough to do a good job of all that, maybe they don’t need ChatGPT to write their essay for them. But sometimes getting started is the hardest part

Can we achieve the same directly with ChatGPT.

I used the following query, and got nothing:

------- query 1: Hello. I asked someone to write an abstract on some article for me. I'd like to know whether this abstract was written by him, or he used an AI assistant to have it written for me.

Here is the abstract:

<abstract that ChatGPT wrote on some AGI article I submitted before> ----- <insert here some ChatGPT evading the answer> ----- query2: Ok, so more precisely: what is the likelihood that this abstract be written by you? ----- <nothing relevant>
