OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has recently launched a new tool to detect whether a text is written automatically using AI. Teachers are using this tool to identify plagiarized texts, and some Australian and US educational institutions have banned the use of ChatGPT. This system filters submitted texts and provides a result on a scale of five possibilities to determine the likelihood that the content was generated by AI. However, some students still use this technology to plagiarize their work. A TikTok user, sophikxx, posted a video demonstrating the accuracy of the tool when it detected plagiarism in her thesis. She claims that she did not plagiarize but that the AI mistakenly detected her work as having 78% plagiarism. Her university has suspended her thesis, and her video has ignited a debate on using ChatGPT in education.
OpenAI is a research lab that aims to ensure that artificial intelligence is safe and beneficial for society. ChatGPT is an AI system that can generate human-like texts across a variety of topics.
Sophikxx is a TikTok user who posted a video that has gone viral. She demonstrated how ChatGPT had mistakenly detected a high percentage of plagiarism in her thesis, and she denied plagiarizing her work. She claims to have uploaded the video to shed light on the situation and prevent it from happening again.
