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. (www.businessinsider.com)

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.

We built a machine to mimic human writing. There's going to a point where there is no difference. We might already be there.

The machine used to mimic human text uses human text. If it can't find the difference in it's text and human text, it will begin using AI text to mimic human text. This will eventually lead to errors, repetitions, and/or less human like text.
