Superhuman has acquired GPTZero, an AI authenticity service specializing in detecting AI-generated content. GPTZero provides services including hallucination and plagiarism detection, alongside a tool that shows the proportion of internet content generated by AI. Superhuman plans to integrate GPTZero into its Superhuman Go AI assistant to enhance its AI and authenticity initiatives.
The focus on teachers and students remains a priority for Superhuman following the acquisition. GPTZero stated that Superhuman would assist in placing its tools where users are already engaged in reading and writing, which aligns with their mission of promoting authenticity in content creation.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Observers noted a contradiction in the acquisition, as Superhuman promotes AI for content generation, whereas GPTZero primarily identifies AI-generated content. Superhuman’s most notable product, the AI writing assistant Grammarly, already includes its own AI detection tools.
Superhuman has faced criticism for aiming to provide AI-generated feedback that mimicked the voices and styles of other writers, causing discontent within the writing community.
