FYI
I am a category moderator on the OpenAI Discourse forum (ref) (not an OpenAI employee) so see the feedback on the forum concerning ChatGPT changes over time (ref) and while in general your statement is correct just adding some clarity regarding ChatGPT.
From the time ChatGPT became available and for many months its abilities were improving, the completions were
- more coherent
- in agreement with the prompt
- become more concise, short in length
Then a change was made that resulted in completions that were
- less coherent
- less in agreement with the prompt
- less concise and longer in length
Many users on the forum noted that it was if the ChatGPT had been rolled back to an earlier version a few months ago. Those using ChatGPT to create code, a use case I also use ChatGPT, noticed it more pronounced as more syntax errors were appearing with the change.
So the thought to keep in mind is that if you are trying to identify ChatGPT generated content, it is a moving target and that it is not always getting better. As a programmer, if I were trying to identify ChatGPT generated content, this would be of value.
Also I do not have any inside knowledge by being a moderator on the site as I am not an OpenAI employee so if you hear of tools that embed info to make such ChatGPT content identifiable, I can not provide info for that.
For those that do not use ChatGPT here is simple example using the above text.

Completion
FYI,
I want to clarify some important points regarding the changes in ChatGPT over time. As a category moderator on the OpenAI Discourse forum, I’ve been closely observing the feedback from the community regarding ChatGPT’s development (ref).
Initially, after its release, ChatGPT showed consistent improvement in its abilities over several months. The completions were becoming more coherent, aligning better with the given prompts, and getting more concise and succinct.
However, there was a subsequent update that resulted in some setbacks. Users noticed that the completions became less coherent, less aligned with the prompts, and longer in length. This led to comparisons with a previous version of ChatGPT, which appeared to be a step backward. In particular, those who use ChatGPT for code generation experienced a more pronounced impact, as they noticed an increase in syntax errors with the change.
It’s essential to understand that identifying ChatGPT-generated content has become a moving target. While it was steadily improving before, it’s not always the case now. As a programmer myself, I find this information valuable, especially when trying to distinguish between human and AI-generated content.
I must clarify that, despite being a moderator on the site, I am not an OpenAI employee and do not possess any insider knowledge. Therefore, if there are any tools or methods developed to identify ChatGPT content, I am unable to provide information on that matter.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope this clarification helps in understanding the current state of ChatGPT’s development.
Best regards,
