AI’s AI Text Classifier is no longer available because of a ‘low accuracy rate’
OpenAI’s AI Text Classifier has been discontinued. The company confirmed that the tool did not accurately determine whether text was written by a human being or an AI.
No page found. Instead of the tool, the classifier page displays a message saying “Page not Found – we couldn’t locate the page that you were searching for”.
What’s the matter? OpenAI has added a comment to the original post about the AI Text classifier:
- The AI classifier will no longer be available after July 20, 2023 due to its low accuracy. We are incorporating feedback, researching more effective provenance methods for text and making a commitment to deploy mechanisms to enable users to know if audio and visual content are AI-generated.
Why we care. Since the advent of ChatGPT, and other AI-generated tools, AI content detectors are becoming increasingly popular with marketers and editors. This is a reminder that OpenAI (and other similar tools), often fail to do their one job, which is to detect AI content.
R.I.P. OpenAI announced Text Classifier 2023-2023 on January 31. The tool didn’t last even six months. OpenAI warned at launch that it would be “impossible” to detect “all AI-written texts”, and that the company “had not thoroughly assessed the effectiveness [of the classifier] in detecting content created in collaboration with humans.”
