I am very tempted to try writing my next paper (maybe a low stake arxiv publication) with ChatGPT.
Having done the research and gotten the results, asking it to turn draft paragraphs into properly written text.

Low stakes should probably be fine but to anyone using it for something important at least do the old rewrite-to-not-be-plagiarism trick.
I have to imagine there's going to be a lot of people regretting using GPT shortcuts soon. It'll be the equivalent of copy pasting Wikipedia by the end of the year I bet.
The next big Google search ranking update should be fun too with all the AI content mills popping up right now. If you see your rival using AI for their blog posts, start writing real content in preparation :D

It is trivial to get around even the best of these techniques. This is a cat and mouse game with a fat, lazy cat and really motivated, olympic tier mice.
None of this existed at all 5 years ago. Let it cook.
It's always been a to and fro between spam and ham. Always will be.
Unless you're releasing updates to your paper each time a new AI model comes out you're at risk of being caught out if anyone decides to do a "We found 80% of xyz to be AI generated" blog post.
That is... not impressive. I'm honestly surprised that OpenAI was willing to release the tool in this state, it's probably the least reponsible thing they have done since calling themselves "OpenAI". Some kids are going to get expelled for no reason.
I'd be ok with it being a first line thing that causes a more fine tuned manual check and maybe a manual pop quiz on what the person 'wrote', though. Manual being the key word after AI does its bit.
This doesn't advance us as a species. ChatGPT does. The point of writing is to communicate ideas, thoughts, and feelings. It shouldn't matter if an AI took your ideas, thoughts, feelings, data, experiments, and then amalgamated it into a coherent work from which others can draw meaning.
