Can ChatGPT be detected?

It is true that the detection of text written by ChatGPT is possible, however the results obtained through this method depend on probabilities rather than certainty. The functioning of AI detectors is based on text analysis that takes into account the following statistical characteristics: predictability – the connections between the words used with previous ones; and burstiness, which describes the variation of the sentence length and rhythm.
AI-generated text has low levels of both features due to the way it was created by Chat GPT. There are several limiting values. First of all, detection decreases extremely for texts that are shorter than 150 words. Besides, editing and paraphrasing the text, as well as running it through a humanizing tool can make the detection ineffective. Moreover, all detectors only show probability that certain passages belong to certain model but cannot define the name of the model that was used to write the text. Therefore, if the AI detector provides a high score, it is important to study the author’s writing style as well as identify the original drafts and sources.
