SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on AI detection tools, specifically ZeroGPT and OpenAI's detector, for identifying whether text is generated by humans or machines. Users are encouraged to test these tools with their own text samples and report results, including character counts and AI detection percentages. The results from various tests indicate that while some texts are classified as 100% human, others show varying percentages of AI detection, highlighting the tools' effectiveness and limitations in distinguishing between human and AI-generated content.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AI text generation, particularly models like GPT-2 and ChatGPT.
  • Familiarity with text analysis tools such as ZeroGPT and OpenAI's detector.
  • Knowledge of character count metrics and their relevance in text analysis.
  • Basic statistical analysis skills to interpret AI detection results.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the capabilities and limitations of ZeroGPT for AI detection.
  • Learn how to effectively use OpenAI's detector for analyzing text samples.
  • Investigate the impact of character count on AI detection accuracy.
  • Research advancements in AI text generation and detection technologies.
USEFUL FOR

Content creators, researchers, and educators interested in understanding the distinctions between human and AI-generated text, as well as developers working on AI detection technologies.

TL;DR
Two AI detectors give frequently opposite results on the same input. I need your help to test them and collect data for statistical tests.
I know two programs that claim to be able to detect whether a text has been written by a machine or by a human.

A (ZeroGPT): https://www.zerogpt.com/
B (OpenAI): https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/

Character Count: https://www.lettercount.com/

If you have time and examples, please test them and report the results. OpenAI also lists the number of checked tokens, so you should add this information, and of course, whether your sample was artificial or not.

Thanks, folks. A little experiment in statistics. And I guess that's only the start of such experiments around the world.

I tested two text passages from two of my insight articles and A and B detected 100% human, so no discrepancies here. That cannot be said from all text passages published at PF.

Here is what an optimal test report would look like:

CC: number of characters (source text is human / AI)
A: AI percentage by ZeroGPT
B: AI percentage by GPT-2

CC: 657 (100% human / 0% AI)
A: 24.53% AI
B: 0.11% AI

CC: 1638 (100% human / 0% AI)
A: 0% AI
B: 0.98% AI

From the intro of an Insight I wrote:

CC: 621 (100% human / 0% AI)
A: 100% AI (104 words)
B: 0.04% AI (113 tokens)

From another Insight of mine:

CC: 3087 (100% human / 0% AI)
A: 6.64% AI (532 words)
B: 0.02% AI (510 tokens from 624)
 
CC: 279 (96% AI, 4% hunman)
A: 0% AI (47 words)
B: 0.06% AI (60 tokens)

Original text from ChatGPT: said:
As the first raindrops descend from the heavens, tapping lightly on windows and leaves alike, a symphony of nature begins. The earth awakens to the rhythmic dance of droplets, filling the air with the soothing scent of petrichor and the gentle melody of raindrops kissing the ground.

my version in which I placed some mistakes said:
As the first raindrops descend from the heavens tapping lightly on windows and leaves alike a symfony of nature begins. The earth awakens to the rhythmic dance of droplets, and fills the air with the soothing scent of petrichor, the gentle melody of raindrops kissing the ground.

Test result on the original text:

CC: 279 (100% AI, extract from the answer to "How would I start an essay about rain?")
A: 0% AI (47 words)
B: 3.47% AI (60 tokens)

If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and... then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those...
