Applications of ChatGPT Zero

• Educational Sector

The launch of ChatGPT opened gates for the students to complete assignments effortlessly. The existence of such a medium made it impossible for professors to record the exact development of students academic performance. In contradiction to this,  GPT Zero comes in handy for professors to examine the authenticity of work delivered by students. The app supports multiple uploads to save time and effort. This a convenient tool for professors to check the files of the entire class at once.  

• Content Creation and Writer 

GPT Zero helps content creators and writers to check the authenticity of their content and eliminate the risk of inadvertently creating  AI-generated content.

• Hiring and Recruitment 

Organizations receive hundred and thousands of entries for an opening. GPT Zero helps the organization identify an eligible and deserving candidate. The app is used to clarify the authenticity of content produced by candidates during the interview process. 

• Students and Researchers

Not only professors but GPT Zero is also used by students and researchers to check the authenticity of their content and as well as the source. This protects their content from unintentional plagiarism. 

Limitations of ChatGPT Zero

The accuracy level of GPT Zero is 98%.

• GPT Zero has a higher rate of accuracy in examining a larger piece of text than a line or paragraph. 
• Due to its limited knowledge, the application may produce errors. The model’s accuracy depends on the input data resemblance with its training database, which contains a variety of human and AI-generated text.
• The application accepts data in text form only. 
• There is a chance of human text being misidentified as AI-generated text. Therefore, the medium should not be used to penalize students by universities and rather be used as the medium for evaluation.
