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 wonder if it was too many false positives, like when some tool said the US constitution was written by AI. Which seems quite logical considering that LLMs imitate humans very closely and cannot by themselves prevent hallucinations which is the best predictor of whether it was written by a person in good faith or not.

If it could, it couldn’t claim that the content out produced was original. If AI generated content were detectable, that would be a tacit admission that it is entirely plagiarized.

The silver lining I suppose is they admit the AI has yet to become self aware so that's good.
