IT Home reported on August 5 that according to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI has developed a tool that can recognize ChatGPT-generated text with high accuracy, but it has not yet been released. In response, OpenAI admitted that it is researching text watermarking technology, but said that this technology still has many challenges.

According to IT Home, through text watermarking, OpenAI will focus only on detecting text from ChatGPT, not text from other companies' models. It will do this by making minor changes to the way ChatGPT selects words.Essentially creating an invisible watermark in the text that can later be detected by a separate tool.

OpenAI says text watermarking is one of several solutions it is exploring, along with classifiers and metadata, to determine the source of text. Although text watermarking works well in some cases,However, the effect will be reduced when faced with tampering such as translation, rewriting or inserting special characters. Additionally, the technology could have a disproportionate impact on certain groups, such as non-native English speakers.

OpenAI said that due to these complex factors and their potential impact on the entire ecosystem, OpenAI said it would carefully advance research on text tracing technology and prioritize authentication tools for audiovisual content.
