How To Get Around ChatGPT Detectors

Today I will be running AI generated text through various plagiarism detection tools, including one that kind of specializes in detecting ChatGPT outputs. Because, let's be real, plagiarism is kind of the main issue when it comes to AI generated text. It's one of the first questions people usually have. They have all these amazing outputs, but they're not sure if they can use them. So in a second, we'll start by generating text and feeding into a traditional plagiarism checker. Then we'll move to AI specific one. But before we do that, you need to realize that as the chatbots and the AI gets better, so will the detection software and copy. Pasting outputs and presenting them as, let's say your bachelor thesis is one of the worst ideas I've come across when using this tech. There's just no way that over time these detection tools won't catch up with you. So while ChatGPT is unbelievably good and useful, especially if you know how to communicate with it pretty much all of the time, it should only be used as a starting point or as an assistant, not as a finished product. Just keep that in mind. But with that being said, let's get to generating some text here. So today we'll do two test runs. One with a super basic write me essay about the importance of avoiding plagiarism in your universities. We stay on topic here. Okay? And the plagiarism detectors we'll be using here are just two results I found at the top of Google, nothing special. So one of them would be duplichecker.com and the second one is smallseotools.com plagiarismchecker alright, and now let's copy paste this text which talks about the importance of not copy pasting. Okay, so if I paste in this text and check plagiarism in one and then in the second one. Here are the results. The first one tells me it's 100% unique, aka it has no idea this was written by AI. And the second one also states it's 100% unique, 0% plagiarism. Okay, so these basic tools have no idea. I do have to note that universities have more advanced models that go in deeper and have wider databases. But I can tell you from other people's experiences that these plagiarism checkers, even the university ones, only catch about 10 to 25% of text, which in a lot of cases is still acceptable. So as you can see here, traditional tools don't really catch on to ChatGPT's output. But now we get to the AI plagiarism checker. This one is called GPT2, Outputs the detector demo, and it's hosted on a fantastic site called Hugging Face, where people build their own AI interfaces. You can explore some of these and soon we're gonna talk about way more of them because there's some real gems hidden in there. You just have to search and try around a lot to find the good ones. Either way, GPT2 output detector is one of the good ones and you can find it under this URL. Oh, by the way, this thing is down more than it is up because so many people are using it. I guess you'll just have to be patient. So if I copy paste the text here, all I have to do is wait for a bit and it's gonna predict how much of this was written by AI. And right away we have it. 99.97% fake. Okay, so this tool could expose this immediately, even though this is based on the GPT2 model and ChatGPT is the GPT 3.5 model. So even though this is detecting the old model, it clearly catches this. But let's see if we can get around this. Can we fool this with some creative prompt engineering? Let's just try a basic. Now write it in a tone that is not typical to AI. Alright, so now let's copy paste this new text that is apparently written in a style that is not typical to AI. Oh my God, look at that. By simply telling it write it in a tone that is not typical to AI. I pretty much got around this version of the detector. All right, but here's another idea. And this line is straight from the how to section of the second version of my ebook. So what it does is that it teaches ChatGPT your very own style, and then uses that to write. And as a result, you should get a text that is unique to your very own style. Right, so let's test this out. As per usual with my formulas, all you have to do is replace the part that is in square brackets. So here I'm just going to paste a little bit of my own writing. Okay, now, instead of now rewrite this text, I'll say now rewrite your last response. Copy paste. Ah, look at that. That didn't work at all. 91% fake. Hmm. But wait a minute. But we have one more trick up our sleeve and that is using some of the rephrasing technology that has been available since. A minute. So let ChatGPT generate everything and then you rephrase it in an external app. Let's see if that works. And this app is called Quill Bot. It's completely free. You can just come in here and paste the text and let's actually use the last text we had here and say paraphrase. And Quill Bot simply picks some alternative words here. Now it's time for the final test. Let's see if the AI detection tool can pick up on a text that was generated in my very own style and then rephrased. Whoa. 64.2% real. I mean, not bad. Two thirds of this are real. And the thing is, if you have access to these tools, which you do because they're free, you could start altering this until you get a 90% real score and then it passes in most cases. Right? But again, you just need to assume that these tools are gonna get better. This is a GPT2 detector, and it catches almost everything from GPT 3.5, even once we rephrase this. So while you might be able to get away with plagiarizing things from a chatbot today, there's just no way that's a good mid to long term strategy. So keep that in mind. Okay, but enough of all this talk that tells you how to not use ChatGPT. This video will show you a bunch of creative waves on how to put ChatGPT to work in ways that you probably wouldn't have imagined by yourself. See you there.
