FAQ
Common Questions
An AI detector (also called an AI checker) analyzes text to determine whether it was written by a human or generated by AI. Our AI content detector examines 200+ signals including perplexity scoring, burstiness analysis, and vocabulary entropy to detect AI writing from ChatGPT, GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and other AI models.
Yes — our AI detector is completely free. Paste any text to check for AI writing instantly. No signup, no credit card, no text stored. The free AI checker is powered by GPT-4o and handles unlimited checks.
Based on our independent benchmark of 2,400 samples, Originality.ai is the most accurate AI detector at 91% accuracy with a 7% false positive rate. Our AI checker comparison page ranks every major AI text detector by accuracy, speed, and price.
Yes. Our AI detector identifies content from 50+ AI models including ChatGPT, GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and more. The AI checker uses model-specific fingerprinting to detect AI-generated text regardless of which AI wrote it.
AI humanizer tools can bypass some AI checkers with 23-91% success rates. No AI detector is fully robust against adversarial rephrasing. We test every AI checker against humanizer tools in our accuracy benchmarks.
Unlike most AI checkers that give a single score, our AI detector provides sentence-level analysis, model attribution, and confidence scoring. We also publish independent accuracy benchmarks — most AI detector companies do not test against competitors.
