OpenAI launched ChatGPT Plus, a subscription-based version of its popular AI-powered text generator. For $20/month, subscribers get exclusive benefits such as priority access during peak times, faster response times, and early access to new features and updates. The subscription will initially be offered to individuals on the waitlist in the United States.

Additionally, OpenAI has introduced an AI classifier to differentiate between human-written and AI-generated text. The company aims to combat the spread of false information through automated misinformation campaigns and academic dishonesty by allowing users to identify AI text posing as human-written. However, the classifier currently has limitations, with accuracy rates of only 26% in identifying AI text and unreliable results for texts shorter than 1,000 characters. Additionally, human-written texts may also be mislabeled as AI-generated.

As the demand and scrutiny surrounding AI content increases, a growing number of AI tools will emerge for both creators and those looking to detect AI-generated content. In addition to net-new AI tools, there will be many platforms that leverage generative AI APIs to build new tools.
