OpenAI shutters AI detector due to low accuracy

Artificial intelligence powerhouse OpenAI has discreetly pulled the pin on its AI-detection software citing a low rate of accuracy.

The OpenAI-developed AI classifier was first launched on Jan. 31, and aimed to aid users, such as teachers and professors, in distinguishing human-written text from AI-generated text.

The classifier is the latest of OpenAI’s products to come under scrutiny.

On July 18, researchers from Stanford and UC Berkeley published a study which revealed that OpenAI’s flagship product ChatGPT was getting significantly worse with age.

Researchers found that over the course of the last few months, ChatGPT-4’s ability to accurately identify prime numbers had plummeted from 97.6% to just 2.4%. Additionally, both ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 witnessed a significant decline in being able to generate new lines of code.
