Reply to comment by Veleric in The Future of AI Detection is Bleak by smswigart

I disagree that learning to use ChatGPT should replace learning other skills for students, but your point about there being an incentive for OpenAI to make a bad detector is a good one that I hadn’t considered before.

I guess expecting OpenAI to make a good detector is a bit like expecting a site that allows students to pay for homework answers to include a service to help teachers identify answers taken from the site. Any site that would try such a thing would quickly become unpopular with students looking to cheat, and they’d take their business elsewhere.

The key for learning in particular is not so much the material itself (with some exceptions) but rather the process of attaining information, processing it in a thoughtful and discerning manner, and disseminating it in a concise and digestible way. Going forward, the average person will need to retain less and less information, and while you can decide whether you think that is a good or bad thing, the ability to find what you need quickly is going to be what's most important.
