Who's the Narc?

Maybe you'll remember this post, where I talk about ChatGPT and the horror it was set to rain over English departments everywhere.

But while most of us were either blissfully unaware of the impending Skynet doom to befall English departments, were actively cheering the AI writer on, or wringing our hands over the situation but not really doing anything about it, a Princeton student wrote a web thingy capable of detecting whether a piece of writing was written by artificial intelligence or not.

I'll let the Daily Beast and Buzzfeed go into the details.

I haven't had the opportunity to try this out yet, as the site hosting this web thingy hasn't been able to keep up with the demand. Or he's scraped enough personal data out of English teachers everywhere and is now only a bale of stolen underpants away from conquering the world. So once the smoke clears, I'll give this thing a shot and report back.
