The tool, expected to launch in April, is capable of detecting 97% of ChatGPT writing with a less than 1% false positive rate, according to the company.
The tip first came from an unnamed source cited in The Information, alleging that "Microsoft has discussed incorporating OpenAI's artificial intelligence in Word, PowerPoint, Outlook and other apps so customers can automatically generate text using simple prompts."
One of the takeaways from the resulting article is that ChatGPT is a heck of a self-promoter, noting that "while some might be worried about the implications of ChatGPT in the classroom, the truth is that it should be embraced by education leaders, not feared."
