Please stop trusting #zeroGpt or other #GPT detectors. The thing with #AI generated text is that it's text and text is just text. There are very limited ways to express anything in text. what you write and what an AI writes use the same language, grammar and letters. AI doesn't leave any metadata or something in the text that these detectors can spot.
The current models do have some sort of pattern that they tend to use in their generations, and these detectors more or less look for these patterns. But the thing is that these patterns are not special at all and literally anyone could unintentionally right like an AI without them knowing. Guess what these tools will say when they see their texts? Happily give a ridiculously high rating of this text being written by AI. That's it. These tools literally just take a guess, and their guess is as good as yours. In fact most the time your guess would be much more educated since you know that person and how likely that they will actually be using an AI or if that is their typical writing style.
People blindly trusting these detectors are affecting the lives of many people in false positives.

Note: I hugely oversimplified how these detectors work, you could search on the internet for more information, but there sophistication doesn't make them more reliable. What I said above still holds true

Not to mention that even our current AI is smart enough to literally get around these detectors with clever enough prompts, while very real humans are being falsely flagged. Its captcha all over again...

@meatbag ya I've messed around with these AI detectors recently.. I've written text that it recognized as "AI generated" and I've gotten ChatGPT4 to write text with that the detectors concluded was "human generated"

It's quite scary that the automated tools to find this aren't good. No way to tell, especially as the technology improves.

Right now it's still possible to tell, especially with a conversation (ask what they think about Ukraine war or other controversial topic)

@meatbag It’s not just that. What these detectors tend to look for are perfect essays. The basic theory is that the more perfect it is, the less likely it is to have been written by a human, particularly since students aren’t always the best writers. AI often gets facts wrong, but its structures are usually dam near perfect.
@meatbag regardless of what kind of text it is, unless academic and even then, AI written text, especially if it's written by gpt models, is easily recognisable to me, even though I can't tell you exactly why because I don't know my self, but it has a certain way of writing I can detect with a high accuracy. I think that if I analyze better what makes me recognise apart AI, that insight could probably become an algorythm which is better than many of those, if only I could do that that is.
