AI Content Detector
Identify AI-generated content in research papers, essays, and text. Understand if content was written by humans or artificial intelligence.
Overview
The AI Detector helps you:
- Identify AI-generated text - Detect if content was written by AI
- Understand patterns - See which sections are likely AI-generated
- Score confidence - Get probability scores for detection
- Analyze multiple papers - Check batch documents at once
How It Works
The detector analyzes text by examining:
- Writing patterns - Distinctive AI language markers
- Vocabulary usage - Common AI word choices
- Sentence structure - How sentences are typically formed by AI
- Redundancy patterns - Repetitive phrases and concepts
- Coherence metrics - How logically organized text flows

Detailed Analysis
For each section of text, you see:
Per-Paragraph Scores
- Each paragraph gets AI probability
- Red highlights = likely AI
- Yellow = possibly AI
- Green = likely human
Confidence Indicators
- How certain the detection is
- Higher confidence = more reliable
- Based on pattern strength
Pattern Explanations
- Why a section was flagged
- What patterns triggered detection
- Specific writing characteristics
Common Use Cases
Check Your Own Work
Verify you're not accidentally using too much AI:
- Paste your draft
- Review results
- Revise heavily AI-assisted sections
- Maintain academic integrity
Evaluate Student Work
Screen submissions for appropriate AI use:
- Upload submission
- Review AI score and breakdown
- Identify heavily AI-generated sections
- Discuss with student
Review Literature
Check papers and sources:
- Copy paper abstract or section
- Run detection
- Understand if it's likely AI-generated
- Evaluate credibility
Validate Research
Before citing a source:
- Extract relevant section
- Run detector
- Check if content is authentic
- Make informed decisions about sources
Interpreting Results Carefully
Limitations to Know
- Tool provides estimates - Not absolute proof
- False positives possible - Can flag human writing
- False negatives possible - Can miss some AI content
- Context matters - What's normal varies by field
- Technical writing - May naturally appear "AI-like"
What It Doesn't Detect
- Subtle paraphrasing of AI content
- Content edited to sound more human
- Human writing that sounds "AI-like"
- Papers entirely human-written
What It Does Well
- Obvious AI-generated text
- Unedited AI outputs
- Large AI-written sections
- Predominantly AI content
Best Practices
Academic Integrity
✅ Acceptable uses:
- Brainstorming and ideation
- Editing and refining your writing
- Translating concepts
- Grammar and style checking
- Generating outlines
❌ Against academic integrity:
- Submitting AI-generated text as your own
- Using AI without disclosure
- Relying entirely on AI to write
- Hiding AI assistance
Using Results
- Review flagged sections - Read what was flagged
- Understand context - Why was it flagged?
- Make your decision - Is the flag valid?
- Rewrite if needed - Ensure authentic voice
- Check your policy - Follow your institution's rules
Improving Your Scores
- Write in your authentic voice - Use your natural style
- Add personal insights - Include your own analysis
- Cite sources - Show original thinking
- Revise AI drafts - Don't submit first output
- Mix strategies - Combine AI assistance with human writing
Common Questions
Q: Can AI write something this detector won't catch? A: Yes, with significant human editing or clever prompting.
Q: Should I be worried if something scores high? A: Only if you wrote it and didn't use AI. Otherwise, it's useful information.
Q: Can I use AI if I disclose it? A: Check your institution's policy. Many allow AI use with proper disclosure.
Q: How accurate is the detector? A: 85-90% accurate on clear cases. Less reliable on mixed content.
Q: Should I trust this completely? A: No. Use as one tool in evaluating content authenticity.

Policy & Ethics
Your Institution's Policy
- Check your school/organization rules
- Understand what's allowed
- Follow disclosure requirements
- Maintain academic integrity
Responsible Use
- Use detector to improve your work

Limitations & Caveats
The detector:
- Works best on unedited AI text
- May flag technical writing as AI
- Needs enough text (500+ words ideal)
- Can have false positives/negatives
- Should never be the only factor in judgment
Always use human judgment alongside automated detection.
