I just received my first paper in class that was written by this software. It's very impressive and passes plagiarism detectors easily. Indistinguishable from a good essay written by a person.
Academia is in serious trouble trying to deal with this software. Does anyone have any tips for detecting an AI written paper? Any tech that can be used to combat it?
Require that the paper needs to relate the topic to 2022 current events. ChatGPT is only trained on data up to 2021.
The text you provided is likely written by a language model, as it seems to be a company's advertisement or marketing text. It presents the company's services and its benefits in a structured and formal language. The text also seems to be written by a language model because the information is quite general and not specific to any particular company.
The text you provided is likely written by a person. It describes a fictional character named Matthew and his behavior, it also describes the parents reaction to his behavior. It also tells a story in a casual tone, using words and expressions that are more likely to be used in a narrative than in a formal text.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting for educators.
I think ultimately it'll have to be incorporated into education as just another tool we all have. Like a calculator, spell/grammar checker, etc. In the short term, though, the cheaters will have an upper hand, but I don't think you'll have any other choice but to work with it at some point.
Very powerful program for sure. I read a recent article about Open AI releasing a tool to detect AI-generated text, including from ChatGPT. Obviously it's success rate is low but over time the detectors should improve. In the meantime things will be ugly for educators. Lots of frauds will ride this wave.
My advice would be to make papers into a form of project based learning.
Breaking to components of a paper into smaller chunks that get evaluated can function like "showing your work" in mathematics.
Have students write annotated bibliographies, summaries of research progress, multiple drafts based on revisions you provide. Paper writing is meant to be a demonstration of understanding, make them prove they understand that they "wrote" and the cheaters will be found out easily.
Just played around in ChatGPT tonight for the first time and wow I did not realize the power it actually had.
Trained one on our SQL database and after an hour or so it was starting to build some complicated tables and queries that would have taken our data analysts we have in the role x100+ the amount of time to do.
Then i had it start writing some contracts, clearly it's not quite capable of writing a full legal contract yet, but at the same time after feeding it with existing contracts we've had written, it was producing product that wasn't that far what we're paying $500 an hour for from our lawyers.
I think the next few years are going to be very interesting in the law, accounting, data analyst, data entry fields especially the junior level people trying to get into those fields as all the entry level work is going to be completed by AI apps and reviewed by more senior people.

So if an automated drone drops an automated rover to acquire seismic data which is then AI analyzed to direct the automated drone to drop a self-deploying drill and pump, and then sends the automated ATV hauler trucks to move the stuff, is the average wage on CP still 100k a year?

When Search Assistants in Office were around, people hated the feature and they were a running joke for a long time. As the default assistant, Clippy took the brunt of that abuse. (I have a fondness for Power Pup from Office 97, myself; see my avatar.) It's only recently that Clippy's reputation has received something of a revival.
Given that revival, I think making Clippy the new mascot of this new ChatGPT-powered Bing is a brilliant idea.

They got their start in Bob didn't they? Bring that all back for the ChatGPT lobby!
Oh yeah, I forgot all about Microsoft BOB! I mean, so did everyone else, which is probably why they're so heavily associated with Office.
Clippy was always being helpful for basic things no one needed help for. You'd go to "File > New..." and he'd pipe up "You look like you're trying to create a new document!" Well, no kidding, thanks tips!
This new and improved Clippy could be pretty damn awesome. Shame that Windows Phone/Mobile died such a pathetic death and took Cortana with it. I feel like it probably would have been a really good fit for Cortana, but in my view branding a product with that character name would immediately tarnish its reputation nowadays because of that history.
I asked Chatgpt to write stories for me
