GPTZero: The ChatGPT Killer App

Is GPTZero app the ChatGPT Killer App? Edward Tian made GPTZero to detect ChatGPT-fueled plagiarism. This is a new tool which is attempting to spot when text is written by ChatGPT and other generative AI engines. Princeton student and former open source investigator for BBC Africa Eye Edward Tian created GPTZero to identify deepfake text, a subject attracting a growing amount of interesting the academic and business world as the debate over how to respond to the potential misuse of AI continues.

On Jan. 3, Tian tweeted that GPTZero wasn’t working, likely due to a larger than anticipated amount of web traffic. In a Substack newsletter Tian published today, he said that more than 10,000 people had tested out the publicly available version of GPTZero on Steamlit.

GPTZero uses “perplexity” and “burstiness” to determine whether a passage was written by a bot. Perplexity is how random the text is in a sentence, and whether the way a sentence is constructed is unusual or surprising to the app. Burstiness compares these sentences to one another, determining their samey-ness. Human writing has more burstiness — which is to say, we tend to write with more sentence variation. A bot will likely have a similar degree of perplexity sentence to sentence, but a human is going to write with spikes — maybe one long, complex sentence followed by a shorter one
GPTZero gave the essay a perplexity score of 10 and a burstiness score of 19 (these are pretty low scores, Tian explained, meaning the writer was more likely to be a bot). It correctly detected this was likely written by AI.

I have used Chatgpt myself to write a concept. Its really amazing but I also fear it can reduce my creativity especially in instances where I would be forced to think deep and learn
