In January, OpenAI launched a system for identifying AI-generated text. This month, the company scrapped it.

OpenAI just admitted it can’t identify AI-generated text. That’s bad for the internet and it could be really bad for AI models.::In January, OpenAI launched a system for identifying AI-generated text. This month, the company scrapped it.

    I don’t see how that affects my point.

    • Today’s AI detector can’t tell apart the output of today’s LLM.
    • Future AI detector WILL be able to tell apart the output of today’s LLM.
    • Of course, future AI detector won’t be able to tell apart the output of future LLM.

    So at any point in time, only recent text could be “contaminated”. The claim that “all text after 2023 is forever contaminated” just isn’t true. Researchers would simply have to be a bit more careful including it.
