Frequently Asked Questions
How do AI content detectors work?
They estimate how predictable text is to a language model, using signals such as perplexity and burstiness or a trained classifier, and report the likelihood that it was machine-generated.
Are AI detectors reliable?
No detector is fully accurate; they can give false positives, especially for non-native writers, so results should be treated as one signal and never as proof.
What is the difference between AI detection and plagiarism checking?
Plagiarism checkers compare text with existing sources; AI detectors assess whether text was machine-generated, even if it is original.
Which tools suit academic use?
Turnitin and Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate) are widely used by institutions and publishers.
Why was Unicheck removed?
Its domain now redirects to Turnitin, which is already listed.
