Since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT, students have been using it to write papers and cheat on exams, causing concern in schools around the world. Teachers have difficulty determining whether their students' work is original because the chatbot's text seems so real.
A computer science graduate created GPTZero, a tool that can determine whether a text was written by a machine or a person. This tool can help teachers determine the quality of their students' work. This article will explain how the tool works, how to use it and whether it can find AI-created content or not.
What is GPTZero and how does it work?
Edward Tian, a computer science graduate, created GPTZero, an artificial intelligence tool for studying texts, so teachers can tell the difference between a stolen text and original work. The tool checks how easily and quickly it is possible to determine whether a text was written by a person or by a computer. Let's see what these words mean without going into details.
In the field of natural language processing (NLP), perplexity is used to measure the degree of strangeness of a text. A text written by a person is generally less organized and harder to predict, so its perplexity rating should be higher. AI-created text, on the other hand, should have a low complexity index.
Exploding is a better way of looking at a text than confusing it, because it takes more elements into account. This means that things that don't happen very often tend to happen together in strange ways. Most of the time, texts produced by artificial intelligence are more reliable than texts produced by people. This is what emerges from the popping.
Since the beginning of 2023, everyone can use GPTZero Classic, which is now free to use since March 2023. But in the free version, you can only view three documents at a time, and each of them They cannot contain more than 5,000 characters.
GPTZero is available in two paid versions: GPTZero Educator and GPTZero Pro. These versions are for teachers and people who want to learn millions of words every month. In the premium versions, you can view an unlimited number of files at once, and each document has more characters than in the free version.
Does GPTZero only recognize output from ChatGPT?
GPTZero works well with a wide range of AI language models, such as ChatGPT, GPT-3, GPT-2, LLaMA, and AI services that use these models.
How does GPTZero help people find research articles written by ChatGPT?
ChatGPT was created by OpenAI. This is a great linguistic pattern. It can produce study materials that are meaningful and contain useful information on a wide range of topics.
But it has been noticed that some of ChatGPT's messages use information from other sites. This can complicate the work of experts and academics. OpenAI created GPTzero, a model that can find copies in study materials written by ChatGPT, to solve this problem.
How does GPTZero work?
GPTZero is an AI tool that allows you to determine whether a text was written by an AI or not. It assigns the entire document a number that indicates the likelihood that it was created by AI. This figure allows you to know whether the text uses AI a lot or not.
Sentence-level classification can be used when there is a mix of AI-created content and human-written content.
If a line says “AI-generated,” that doesn’t mean the rest of the article was also written in part by AI. On the contrary, when it is obvious that a large part of the text was written by a computer, the underlined sentence indicates the place in the text where this happened.
The purpose of the classifier is to tell you when you need to investigate further and when using AI in your work might be dangerous. It can be useful in education, certification, hiring, recruiting, social writing platforms and in cases where plagiarism or fake information may be an issue.
GPTzero compares the text produced by ChatGPT to a large set of known search items to find places where the two texts are the same or overlap. Several methods, such as text similarity measures, meaning analysis and machine learning algorithms, are used for this purpose.
If GPTzero sees that a research article created by ChatGPT is very close to a known research article, it flags the article so that someone can view it. This allows researchers and academics to verify that the study is real and original before citing or referencing it.
Is GPTZero free to use?
GPTZero was designed for teachers, but anyone can use it. This will not always be the case. Business rules may stipulate that certain services require payment. A note also states that new users who sign up can benefit from a 30-day free trial period.
GPTZero is not an open-source project, and without Streamlit, a Python application platform with a free cloud service for Streamlit applications, Tian would have to pay a lot for storage. Even though the traffic on GPTZero is not as high as that on ChatGPT, OpenAI has chosen to start charging for it to cover its costs.
Even though hosting on Streamlit is free, this usually means that this sharing site has limited bandwidth and resources. Apps like GPTZero wouldn't have been as useful.
For now, Streamlit is helping Tian by giving GPTZero more space to host programs and more memory to run them. If the app grows quickly enough, this could change.
How to subscribe to the Premium version of ZeroGPT?
To sign up for these paid versions, follow these steps:
- Go to the GPTZero dashboard.
- Log in with an account you already have or create a new one.
- After logging in, you can upgrade to a paid version.
How to use GPTZero to localize AI-created text?
For GPTZero, you do not need to register like for ChatGPT. Visit the page to learn how to use the tool. Let's see where it is and how to use it:
- You can copy and paste the words you want to see or share a video.
- Check the box “I accept the conditions of use of the service”.
- Click on the “Get Results” option.
Once verified, GPTZero will tell you whether the text was written by a person or by artificial intelligence.
How can I use the GPTZero site?
You can get GPTZero from its website or through an API. API stands for “application programming interface”. Copy the text you want to check and put it in the big box that says “Try it” to use the site. You can also click the Get Results button after sharing a PDF, Word, or text file. You will also need to check the box indicating that you accept the terms of use.
Is it really necessary to check copied works?
OpenAI released ChatGPT at the end of November 2022. This is a big step forward for AIs that can speak words. Previously, they were only used in study rooms. ChatGPT had over 100 million users as of January 2023, making it the fastest growing public app to date.
This means that as AI helps people more and more, they become more and more worried about copying. Microsoft is adding OpenAI technology to its Bing search engine, and Google is testing its own version, called Bard.
Similarly, AI image producers like Dall-E and Stable Diffusion are being scrutinized to see if they are violating copyright laws. All of these AI services learned how to work by looking at what billions of people have written, drawn and posted online.
AI does not think for itself. It's the people who give them to him. If I use something that someone else made, I have to give them credit and possibly pay them a royalty.
With generative AI, it is more difficult to give credit to a source because each piece of text or image is broken down into many smaller pieces. These pieces are then recomposed to create a new text that uses thousands or millions of different sources.
Either we need to change our thinking about copyright and copying, or we need to find tools that help us find AI-generated content and perhaps find a way to credit the many people who have contributed to the creation of each AI-generated work.
Conclusion
GPTZero looks at how random the text is and how random it is across the entire text. In statistics, this is called confusion and fragmentation. People change these things without even understanding them. A computer program is always the same in terms of its confusion and abruptness.
Tian says the work is not finished and more tests will be added to make AI word recognition more accurate. People are particularly interested in unconscious bias as a way to determine whether text was written by a person or a computer.
