In the era of information abundance, the spread of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it possible to generate high-quality, human-like content. This ability can be exploited to spread misinformation, propaganda, and fake news, affecting people's understanding of reality and posing a significant threat to our society. There's also the concern of content plagiarism, copyright violations, and the inability to distinguish between human and AI-generated content. It's therefore crucial to identify AI-generated content to maintain the authenticity and reliability of online information.

AI has been used to solve this problem by creating detection models that differentiate between human and AI-generated content. These models are trained on large datasets of both human and AI-generated content, learning the subtle differences between them.

Techniques involve understanding linguistic patterns, semantic coherence, sentence structure, and even the likelihood of certain phrases or words being used. GPT-3, for instance, can generate highly sophisticated content, but its tendency to overuse certain phrases, or its occasional lack of deep contextual understanding, can be telltale signs of AI generation.
