BOTS FIGHTING BOTS: OpenAI released its AI-written text identifier. Here’s how to use it.

The tool is simple to use. Simply visit the AI classifier(Opens in a new window), log in, and copy and paste the block of text you want to check. The classifier will then rank the text on a scale as either likely to be AI-generated, possibly, unclear, unlikely, or very unlikely.

We were promised flying cars. Instead we got algos spotting lazy students using algos.
