OpenAI is developing technology to identify when the text was created by their ChatGPT model after New York City educators restricted the tool from students in public schools. Reports of students using AI to do their homework have led instructors to question the impact of technology on education.
Some have voiced worries about the potential for language models to copy existing material or give children an opportunity to cheat. In response, OpenAI is reportedly attempting to create “mitigations” to allow people to identify text automatically generated by ChatGPT.
We have long advocated for clarity concerning the utilization of text produced through AI. Our regulations necessitate that consumers be honest with their target audience when utilizing our API and creative instruments… We are eager to join forces with educators to come up with beneficial solutions, as well as other methods to assist teachers and students take advantage of AI.
Recognizing whether a piece of writing was created by a human or a machine will revolutionize the role of AI in academia. Institutions would be able to more strictly enforce bans on AI-generated essays, or potentially, they may be more open to using them if they understand the potential benefits they can have for students.
Yes, generative language models can be useful, but they lack any meaningful understanding of the subject matter.
AI-generated writing has been making headlines recently due to its presence at academic conferences and being banned by schools, however, it is important to remember that it is unable to compare to the level of understanding present in real human writing.
Experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence are amazed when tools like GPT-3 and ChatGPT produce surprisingly accurate answers, citing it as evidence of the model’s capacity to acquire knowledge. On the other hand, when the responses are inaccurate, they are said to be exhibiting “hallucinations”. Nevertheless, Gary Smith, an economics professor at Pomona College, warns us not to be deceived.
In a piece he wrote for Salon, the author gave examples of how GPT-3 fails to think and answer questions accurately. He commented, “If you take the time to experiment with GPT-3 (I suggest you do), you will be amazed… It will seem like you are having a real conversation with someone very smart. Nevertheless, if you investigate further, you will learn that GPT-3 can construct words in a credible way, but it has no understanding of what the words mean.”
It is not necessary to comprehend the meanings of the words “fell” and “down” to deduce that the latter typically follows the former; GPT-3 can make this calculation without any knowledge. As a result, GPT-3 has the potential to issue authoritative statements that are utterly false.
OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT, a newer version of GPT-3, in November of last year, with the intention of making improvements. However, it still has not been able to avoid the same problems that all language models experience.
Apple is releasing audiobooks that are narrated by artificial intelligence robots.
Apple has announced that they are looking to collaborate with authors and publishers to create audiobooks using AI voice synthesis. Authors who are interested in this should get in touch with Draft2Digital and Ingram CoreSource, two companies that specialize in e-books for the Apple Books app. At the moment, only romance and fiction written in English are accepted, and other genres are not yet supported. They said in a blog post: “Despite the increasing popularity of audiobooks, only a tiny fraction of books have been converted to audio, leaving millions yet to be heard.”
Creating audiobooks can be expensive and complicated, which is why many independent authors and those associated with small publishers are unable to do so. Apple Books’ digital narration makes the process more accessible to everyone, allowing authors to meet the ever-increasing demand for audiobooks and providing more options for listeners.
The advancement of synthetic AI voices, which now sound more human-like and less monotone, is a huge improvement from the robotic, tinny sounds that computers used to produce when they tried to mimic humans. This new feature will enable self-published writers to broaden their readership and increase their profits. Nonetheless, Apple will continue to take 30% of all purchases of apps from its App Store.
