Is OpenAI fit to flag its own product’s plagiarism?

ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI has released a classifier to detect AI-generated text, but testing it shows that writers and educators have many reasons to be fearful.
Six months after birth, a baby begins crawling and tries mimicking its parents— with uncertain success.
By contrast, in its sixth month, OpenAI’s large language model ChatGPT has reportedly passed medical, law, and business exams (albeit with a little human help). Enthusiastic advocates for the technology believe it will soon be able to write books, compose lyrics, churn out screenplays, and take over entire creative sectors.
With the arrival of the more advanced GPT-4, which OpenAI calls its “most capable model”, in late March, those in the business of rooting out plagiarism have their work cut out for them.
From a technical standpoint, one glaring issue that stops ChatGPT from putting authors out of business is its content policy, which (sometimes) stops the chatbot from generating explicit content. This is a natural step for OpenAI to take, as explicit content can create safety issues—such as child abuse material produced by AI.
But it may create other hurdles.
We gave ChatGPT a prompt to write a scene for a novel where two adult characters confessed their love and had “consensual intimate relations.”
ChatGPT responded, “Note: As an AI language model, I do not generate explicit content. Therefore, the following scene will focus on the emotional aspect of the interaction.”
The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
