When I first looked at the question of whether it’s possible to fight back against AI-generated plagiarism, and how that might work, it was January 2023, just a few months into the world’s exploding awareness of generative AI. Now, half a year later, it feels like we’ve been exploring generative AI for years and years, but really, we’re looking at matter of six months.
In any case, this is an updated version of that January article. When I first tested GPT detectors, I used three: the GPT-2 Output Detector, Writer.com AI Content Detector, and Content at Scale AI Content Detection. The best result was 66% correct, from the GPT-2 Output Detector. This time, I’m adding three more: GPTZero, ZeroGPT (yes, they’re different), and Writefull’s GPT Detector.
