AI Can Generate Convincing Text–and Anyone Can Use It

QuillBot

Anecdotally, but I know a number of people who do university assignments for money. Many of the clients for the folks I know are at the university level are folks with poorer then average English language skills and are usually in intro writing courses.<p>GPT-3 would be a godsend, but still requires a human to jump in and rewrite whole sections.<p>No, if you want to REALLY cheat using AI, you should most likely utilize either 1. Abstractive Summarizers (e.g. Pegasus) or 2. Paraphrasing tools (e.g. Like at <a href="https://quillbot.com/" rel="nofollow">https://quillbot.com/</a>). I believe that Quilbot is primarily powered by MLMs like BERT rather than CLMs like GPT-2 (but someone who works there can enlighten me more).<p>Copy and paste a text that you want rewritten in your own words (e.g. The ideas of a really smart individual), and then it rewrites it using totally different language but preserving the same meaning. (old) Plagerism detection tools don't work and hell, it's not hard to fool the never ones. You can try tools for detecting if something is AI written by a particular model and weights (e.g. To prove if they used GPT2-Medium), but if I fine-tuned those same weights, than proving it was plagiarism will become exceedingly difficult.<p>Welcome to the brave new world of cheating. Also, techniques like this are coming to a CS department near you (in the form of source code generation powered by NLP models).

A friend started a AI to improve writing (<a href="https://outwrite.com" rel="nofollow">https://outwrite.com</a>) and when the initially started, they had a detect plagiarism feature that teachers could use, I think they stopped developing that eventually.<p>If I recall correctly, the way it worked was to build up a model of this persons writing, and how it compared to to other people, and then would measure the likelihood that sentences and paragraphs matched the rest of the writing.<p>I suspect something similar could be done with GPT-x.

Google Kubernetes Engine

I forgot about BERT thx for reminding me.<p>Google for example can monetize NLP AI framework just like they are monetizing Kubernetes: <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine" rel="nofollow">https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine</a><p>If OpenAI and Microsoft are licensing and monetizing GPT-3 why Google wouldn't want to compete with them when they have more data than them. Nothing can beat the amount of data that Google and Google Search have gathered over the last 20 years.
