Description
Summary:The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to the creation of powerful text generation models, such as large language models (LLMs), which are widely used for diverse applications. However, concerns surrounding AI-generated content, including issues of originality, bias, misinformation, and accountability, have become increasingly prominent. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of AI text generators (AITGs), focusing on their evolution, capabilities, and ethical implications. This paper also introduces Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a recent approach that improves the contextual relevance and accuracy of text generation by integrating dynamic information retrieval. RAG addresses key limitations of traditional models, including their reliance on static knowledge and potential inaccuracies in handling real-world data. Additionally, the paper reviews detection tools that help differentiate AI-generated text from human-written content and discusses the ethical challenges these technologies pose. The paper explores future directions for improving detection accuracy, supporting ethical AI development, and increasing accessibility. The paper contributes to a more responsible and reliable use of AI in content creation through these discussions.
