ChatGPT or Human Author?

Whether application letters, school essays or program codes - with the text AI ChatGPT, texts of all kinds can be generated automatically within seconds. Fraunhofer SIT is researching ways to help recognize texts created with ChatGPT. Among other things, our text forensic experts work with a self-developed method for authorship verification, COAV. This is used to calculate the distances between texts using similarities of text modules and typical consecutive letter strings: Is the text closer to GPT or closer to a human?
