Lecture Notes: Bypassing AI Detection with ChatGPT and Other Tools

Presenter: Justin from Gold Penguin

Introduction

• Purpose: Demonstrate how to use ChatGPT and other AI tools to bypass Turnitin AI detection.
• Tools used:
  • ChatGPT (GPT-4)
  • Undetectable AI
  • Quillbot
  • Netus AI
  • Word AI
• Note: The presenter hasn't tested this exact process before.

Concerns About AI Detectors

• False Positives:
  • Detectors like Turnitin can falsely flag content as AI-generated.
  • Potential legal issues due to false accusations.

Testing AI Writing

• Process Overview:

  1. Generate an essay using ChatGPT.
  2. Test through various AI detection tools:
     • Content at Scale
     • Originality.AI
     • Winston AI
     • Copyleaks

• Expectations and Observations:

  • Content at Scale is more liberal, often flagging genuine human text as AI.
  • Originality tends to over-diagnose content as AI.
  • Comparison of human creativity vs. AI's trained predictability.

Tools to Modify AI-Generated Text

• Undetectable AI:

  • Allows changing readability and tone.
  • Options for more readable or human-like text.

• Quillbot:

  • Paraphrasing tool.
  • Offers synonym adjustments and paraphrasing in real-time.

• Word AI:

  • Functions similarly to Undetectable AI.
  • Adjustability for degree of change in text.

Example Results

• Testing Results:

  • Original AI text often detected as AI.
  • Undetectable AI effectively reduced AI detection.
  • Combined tools (e.g., Undetectable AI + Quillbot) show varied results.

• Accuracy and Effectiveness:

  • Variability in AI detection can make human text appear AI-generated.

Final Thoughts and Recommendations

• Challenges:

  • Overly strict AI detectors can mislabel human writing as AI.
  • Importance of adjusting AI-generated text to appear more human.

• Advice:

  • Use stricter tools like Originality for testing.
  • Be cautious with the extent of changes to keep text coherent.

• Ethical Considerations:

  • Current tools create a cycle of detection and circumvention.
  • The implications for students and writers are significant.

Conclusion

• Concerns about fairness in detecting AI versus human writing.
• Encouragement to explore available tools.
• Invites feedback and discussions on AI detection challenges.
