Given the significant limitations of using a classifier to detect AI generated text, it seems strange to me that OpenAI went ahead and built one and threw it out for the public to try. As far as I can tell, this is OpenAI aggressively acting to cover its bases for potential legal and PR damages due to ChatGPT’s existence.
For me this is a slight positive evidence for the idea that AI Governance may actually be useful in extending the timelines, but only if it involves adverserial actions that act on the vulnerabilities of these companies. But even then, that seems like a myopic decision given the existence of other, less controllable actors (like China), racing as fast as possible towards AGI.
