ChatGPT maker OpenAI has a free tool that can spot AI-written text - Liam Tung, ZD Net

Education is one field that could benefit from OpenAI's new classifier by automating the detection of AI-generated essays and homework. It might allow a different response than say, restricting its use as New York Schools did recently. School departments across Australia have banned ChatGPT too.  The classifier could also help companies like developer Q&A site, Stack Overflow, which banned ChatGPT answers after its moderators were flooded with sometimes-correct solutions.  While the classifier can eliminate some detection work, OpenAI says it's impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text and there are a number of limitations that impact its effectiveness.
