If AI can generate text, it also knows how to detect generated text. The easiest way to check whether ChatGPT has created some text is to prompt it with the “Did you write this” query and then copy/paste the text you suspect has been created by AI. And voila, you’ll get the response right away. Machines know machines.
This capability is especially important for today’s teachers who have found themselves grappling with essays written by AI. How in the world can they know that some text is the work of a student? They can use tools such as Turnitin, Copyleaks, GPTZero and Originality.ai to determine whether that is indeed the case or not. And the same goes for entire academic institutions which want to preserve the academic integrity of their organizations. The tools listed on this page are meant to help them do that.
It is kinda of self-explanatory what these tools are all about, but let us go into more detail, shall we? They could be used for:
It’s not just text that AI detection tools could “handle” – they could also be used for identifying manipulated videos and images where the face or voice of a person has been replaced by another.
These tools can verify the authenticity of text, images, or videos shared online. This is especially important for journalists, content creators, and social media platforms to ensure the information they share or promote is unique.
Although this capability should kill the “fake news” phenomenon, we know it won’t happen, with conspiracy theorists arguing that it’s “another proof someone’s hiding something.” You know how it goes…
AI detection tools can help identify unauthorized use of copyrighted content, including images, videos, or text.
Finally, we would just like to add that tools like Turnitin, Copyleaks, GPTZero and Originality.ai are best used for ensuring the authenticity and credibility of the content you create or share. This is becoming increasingly important in a world where AI-generated content is becoming more common and sophisticated.
