CNN —Less than six months after ChatGPT-creator OpenAI unveiled an AI detection tool with the potential to help teachers and other professionals detect AI generated work, the company has pulled the feature.
OpenAI quietly shut down the tool last week citing a “low rate of accuracy,” according to an update to the original company blog post announcing the feature.
Against that backdrop, OpenAI announced the AI detection tool in February to allow users to check if an essay was written by a human or AI.
Other companies such as Turnitin have also rolled out AI plagiarism detection tools that could help teachers identify when assignments are written by the tool.
Meanwhile, Princeton student Edward Tuan introduced a similar AI detection feature, called ZeroGPT.
