AI summary: OpenAI has discontinued its AI Classifier, a tool designed to detect AI-written text, due to its low accuracy rate. The tool, which was released amid concerns about AI being used to write student essays, correctly identified only 26% of AI-written text. The decommissioning highlights the ongoing challenges in distinguishing between human and AI-generated text, with current detection tools often falsely accusing students of cheating. The future may see AI-augmented text blending seamlessly with human writing, emphasizing the need for text to accurately convey a human’s intended message.
