When did this change? As of 2 or 3 months ago, OpenAI's tool seemed pretty reliable at separating 100% ChatGPT content from 0%. Of course, past some level of a human using a generative AI and editing it and augmenting it, it's harder. And outside of certain artificial constraints in places like schools, it's not clear that using a generative AI assistant is even "wrong." Though to the degree that floods the web, publications, conference proposals, etc. with content that is just "OK" it makes the job of people filtering it who are already flooded with mediocre but not necessarily bad content that much harder.
