This week’s FWD first covers the latest on generative AI technologies. OpenAI, the company behind DALL-E and ChatGPT, has released a free tool to “distinguish between text written by a human and text written by AIs.”
The tool, known as a classifier, can be used to determine whether someone is trying to pass off AI-generated text as something that was written by a human. OpenAI released a press statement, making it clear that the classifier is a work-in-progress, is “not fully reliable” and “should not be used as a primary decision-making tool.”
