Thankfully, AI can now be used to identify fake text, too. A tool to identify AI-generated text that could help spot fake news has been developed by researchers from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and Harvard University. Based on a public version of the OpenAI code, the Giant Language Model Test Room (GLTR) highlights the statistical likelihood of each word used in text, with automated copy emerging as more predictable than human-written articles. The GLTR is an online test for detecting whether or not a given piece of text contains any particular words commonly associated with certain topics such as “Donald Trump” or “Hillary Clinton.”
