Summary
OpenAI has developed a tool aimed at identifying students who use ChatGPT to complete their assignments. However, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, the company is still deciding whether to release it.
In a statement to TechCrunch, an OpenAI representative confirmed that the company is exploring a text watermarking technique mentioned in the Journal's article. They emphasized a "deliberate approach" due to the "complexities involved and its potential impact on the broader ecosystem beyond OpenAI."
"The text watermarking method we're working on shows technical promise but carries significant risks. We're considering alternatives due to concerns about circumvention by malicious actors and the potential negative impact on non-English speakers," the spokesperson explained. This method differs from previous attempts to detect AI-generated text, which have generally been ineffective. OpenAI even discontinued its own AI text detector last year due to its "low accuracy rate."
The text watermarking technique would specifically target writing generated by ChatGPT, not other AI models. It involves subtle changes in word selection by ChatGPT, creating an invisible watermark detectable by a separate tool.
Following the Journal's report, OpenAI updated a May blog post about its research on detecting AI-generated content. The update notes that text watermarking has been "highly accurate and effective against localized tampering, such as paraphrasing," but less effective against more extensive tampering methods like translation, rewording with another generative model, or inserting and then removing special characters. Consequently, OpenAI acknowledges that this method is "easily circumvented by bad actors." The update also reiterates concerns about non-English speakers, stating that text watermarking could "stigmatize the use of AI as a helpful writing tool for non-native English speakers."
