Hackers, assemble! HackerNoon is thrilled to announce its partnership with GPTZero, benchmarked as the best AI detector on RAID with 95.7% accuracy. This powerful AI detector will now analyse 5000+ monthly blog post submissions reviewed by the HackerNoon editorial team, and our readers will be able to see AI detection disclosures on published blog posts.
With this partnership, GPTZero’s detector will be integrated into HackerNoon’s Editing Protocol to evaluate and review all new HackerNoon blogs. Additionally, HackerNoon will also use models developed by GPTZero, such as Model 3.7b, to research and report on AI’s impact on blogging over time.
Transparency in AI Usage: Why It Matters
Transparency in AI usage establishes trust between publishers, contributors, and the community. Readers have a right to know that the content they are consuming is written by a real human or AI. This partnership not only protects the integrity of publishing but also ensures that writers using AI responsibly are recognized for it, while readers gain confidence in the information they consume.
We’re building AI transparency infrastructure into how HackerNoon publishes because publishing standards matter more than ever,” said David Smooke, HackerNoon Founder/CEO.
“GPTZero’s proven AI detection technology analyzes every submission we review. With this partnership, our readers get more transparency, our editors get a reliable tool, and HackerNoon strengthens the tech stack of its publishing platform.
