3 AI content detectors that identify AI text 100% of the time and an even better option

ZDNet – “I’ve been testing AI content detectors for more than two years. And now there’s an equally effective option that doesn’t require a new subscription…. Before I go on, though, let’s discuss plagiarism and how it relates to our problem. Merriam-Webster defines “plagiarize” as “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own; use (another’s production) without crediting the source.” This definition fits AI-created content well. While someone using an AI tool like Notion AI or ChatGPT isn’t stealing content, if that person doesn’t credit the words as coming from an AI and claims them as their own, it still meets the dictionary definition of plagiarism. To test the AI detectors, I’m using five blocks of text. Two were written by me, and three were written by ChatGPT. To test a content detector, I feed each block to the detector separately and record the result. If the detector is correct, I consider the test passed; if it’s wrong, I consider it failed. When a detector provides a percentage, I treat anything above 70% as a strong probability — whether in favor of human-written or AI-written content — and consider that the detector’s answer.

If you want to test a content detector yourself using the same text blocks, you can pull them from this document. To evaluate AI detectors, I reran my five-test series across 11 detectors. In other words, I cut and pasted 55 individual tests. Detectors I tested include BrandWell, Copyleaks, GPT-2 Output Detector, GPTZero, Grammarly, Monica,  Originality.ai. QuillBot, Undetectable.ai, Writer.com, and ZeroGPT.  We previously dropped Writefull from our tests because it discontinued its GPT detector. This time, we had to drop Monica from our tests. The detector would only allow 250 words to be tested, and then once we cut down our tests to fit, it reported that it had limited the testing tools without a $200 upgrade. In its place, we’re adding Pangram, a newcomer to our tests that immediately soared into the winners’ circle…”
