OpenAI couldn't "classify" enough
Due to poor accuracy, OpenAI discontinued a tool that was designed to distinguish between human and artificial writing. OpenAI announced their decision to discontinue its AI classifier as of July 20th in a blog post. The business stated, "We are working to incorporate feedback and are currently researching more useful provenance techniques for text."
As it discontinues the tool to identify text produced by AI, OpenAI stated that it intends to "develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated." However, it is unknown what such processes might be at this time.
"We are working to incorporate feedback and are currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated," OpenAI said.
Classifier was never accurate enough
OpenAI openly acknowledged that the classifier had never been very effective at identifying AI-generated material and cautioned that it might produce false positives or human-written language that was mistakenly classified as AI-generated. Before adding the update that disabled the program, OpenAI stated that the classifier could improve with more data.
Although it appears logical, the hypothesis that AI-generated text has some distinguishing trait or pattern that can be consistently detected has not truly been supported in practice up to this point. Although some generated text may have a clear tell, it is very impossible to rely on those tells due to the disparities across major language models and the speed at which they have evolved.
Musk wants you to trust xAI more than OpenAI and Google
The AI Classifier, according to OpenAI, has some limitations, such as being unreliable on text with fewer than 1,000 characters, mislabeling material created by humans as having been written by AI, and performing badly outside of its training data.
Education is one industry that is particularly interested in appropriately identifying AI. Educators have raised concerns about pupils using ChatGPT to create essays ever since the chatbot's November introduction.
"We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognizing the limits and impacts of AI-generated text classifiers in the classroom," the company said.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
