Disagree, this is very much needed. The problem with AI-generated content is that it looks superficially worthwhile and plausible, but in fact it often says things that are not correct.

Depends on the human

Which is true for most human-generated content, too.

Depends, only the one that do the 10 minutes YouTube video and/or 500 words article to make money from ads.

If you dig well, there are people who do really good content out there

I can tell you that detecting AI plagiarism can be a challenging task, as AI models like ChatGPT are able to generate text that is similar to existing text. It is important to note that not all text generated by AI models is considered plagiarism, as it may be used in a legal, educational or research context. The best way to evaluate the accuracy of a plagiarism detection website would be to test it using a variety of inputs, and compare its results to those of other plagiarism detection tools.

Sorry.

The problem with such things is that you would need 100% accuracy in most cases for it to be useful. For example many schools and universities fear that students use ChatGPT for homework. If such a plagiarism checker has false positive results in just a small percentage of cases, the consequences for honest students would be too severe to actually act on the results of the check. But perfect accuracy can never be reached for text classification, so those tool will never be that useful despite being interesting to AI people.

Sort of. But if I read a five page article by a human, and everything on the first couple pages checks out as correct, I expect the rest of the article to be at least reasonable. If it’s written by AI, it’s entirely possible that it’ll start in on something that doesn’t even make sense. Then I’ll realize that I can’t even trust the part that seemed correct.

I tried this on my recent AI satire article. While ChatGPT detected my story as AI (because I wrote it like a machine), GPTZero gladly says it's human written.

To be clear, my story was ChatGPT-assisted. But I wonder why ChatGPT couldn't detect it correctly like GPTZero?

ChatGPT and other AIs are theoretical machines built on human data.

Can an algorithm write an article about the 2008 financial crisis? Of course! it has read God knows how many Wikipedia articles, books and online discussions about it. But everything the AI knows is because some humans put in the work and documented everything.

If we don't know something, be it a historical fact or a scientific model, we have the ability to go out in the real world and record the data. Can ChatGPT fly to Yemen and interview refugees? Can ChatGPT tear apart the circuitry of a home appliance, reverse engineer it and write a blog post about it? Can ChatGPT go to a lab and make chemical experiments to create new compounds?

No, it can only regurgitate what it knows and even what it doesn't know.

ChatGPT will absolutely steal the job of all the "journalists" that just regurgitate what others have already written. Original research and field reporting will be left to the real journalists for God knows how many decades. If your job consists of actually making new things or collecting real-world data then I think it will be safe for the decades to come.
