This tool's been fueling tons of false accusations in academia. Wife is doing her PhD and she often tells me stories about professors falsely accusing students of using ChatGPT.


Lots of stories on Reddit about school teachers unfairly accusing students of using ChatGPT for assignments too


A group of students at my university were claiming their papers were being marked by a LLM. They cited a classifier like the OP which they used on their feedback comments.


It isn't just this one. There are a hundred different "AI detectors" sold online that are all basically snake oil, but overzealous professors and school administrators will keep paying for them regardless.


Eh I am doing my PhD and I use ChatGPT all the time!


And?

The tool in question was used for AI text detection not generation.


Not all people might be accused wrongly. Then again does it matter if you use ChatGPT for inspiration?


> does it matter if you use ChatGPT for inspiration?

Absolutely not.


whats funny is GPT output with even a relatively low temp will come back as human more reliably than human content.
