This article describes enhancements to the GPT-2 Output Detector, a tool for identifying AI-generated text. The original detector was limited to 510 tokens, hindering its effectiveness with longer texts. The author improved the frontend to process large texts, support custom file uploads, and enable parallel processing of multiple files. This makes the detector more useful and accessible.
The original limitation stemmed from the API's 510-token limit. This meant the detector was sensitive to small changes at the beginning of long posts and unsuitable for longer social media content. The goal of the improvements was to allow the detector to analyze the entire content holistically.
The article provides a link to the improved application and a brief demonstration. It refers to a previous post where the author tested the accuracy of the original GPT-2 Output Detector and found it effectively distinguishes between human-written and AI-generated text. The improvements largely focused on enhancing the user interface and processing capabilities to overcome the token limitation.
