OpenAI's new tool to detect AI-written text correctly spotted 26% of AI-written text, while falsely identifying 9% of human-written text as AI-written.

One way of interpreting this: AI isn't yet good enough to reliably identify AI content.

Another: The technology to detect AI text is lagging well behind the technology to produce it. And/or it turns out to be a harder problem. https://openai.com/blog/new-ai-classifier-for-indicating-ai-written-text/

New AI classifier for indicating AI-written text

We’re launching a classifier trained to distinguish between AI-written and human-written text.

@willoremus interesting. We keep debating where this will take us at work. Will we be able to make use of these tools. I keep saying that it will kill innovation and design thinking. Development roles will stagnate if we turn to tooling to write the code for us. Absence of innovative thinking and imagination could be the death of us. Be interesting to see what happens. Sentient AI on the other hand could be very useful and or very dangerous.
