The fact is, you have to make it clear when something was created by AI. But who wants to control that and how?
It's the same age-old game as counterfeiting banknotes, counterfeiting products and so on. As soon as one side gains a new level, the other side has to follow suit or at least pretend to have caught up.
In the case of AI, we have the EU AI Act or, in Germany, the KI-Verordnung, which set out the legal framework. This states in Article 50, quote: ...shall disclose that the content has been artificially generated or manipulated: https://www.euaiact.com/article/50
ATTENTION: This is in no way a legal advice!
If the person publishing the content does not do this, however, numerous app providers are now advertising that they can do this for you:
How do these checking apps work?
- Machine learning: classifiers learn from sample texts, but need to be trained for many text types, which is expensive.
- Digital watermarks: Invisible watermarks in text that can be recognized by algorithms. Providers of AI tools would have to insert these watermarks, which is very unlikely.
- Statistical parameters: Requires access to probability values of the texts, which is difficult without API access.
- AI-generated texts often are not very original or varied and contain many repetitions, while human authors vary more when writing.
- A style with many keywords strung together could also indicate an AI as the author.
- AI tools often make mistakes with acronyms, technical terms and conjunctions.
