With the advent of AI, users across the globe are taking help from AI-based platforms to generate content (text as well as images).
On a personal front, one should not blindly copy and paste what an AI-based tool serves you. Here we are not demeaning AI-based platforms, it’s more about making your content user-friendly. That’s because only a human can understand a human’s intent.
So, yes! You can take ideas from an AI-based platform, and refine them till it’s absolutely correct, but you should also practice a lot of discretion.
That’s where you can use an AI content detection tool to check if the text is AI-generated (i.e. something that sounds mechanical, incorrect, and something that doesn’t “sound human”).
No AI-based detector is 100% accurate. As such, never solely depend on an AI-based tool to make decisions, especially those that can impact your content integrity. Here are some checks you can conduct on your own to ascertain if a text is AI-generated or not –
- Check your content for correctness and accuracy in facts.
- Look for terminologies, sentences, phrases, etc that are not used by humans in day-to-day use. The jargon that AI sometimes uses is not commonly-used by humans and can be a sign.
- Locate repetitive phrases.
- Check for monotony in tone. Human written content variably or invariably shows a unique tone. Furthermore, you may also use informal language or colloquialism from time to time.
- With AI based content, a common problem is that it often generates generic explanation with no personal take.
That said, an AI-based writing detection tool can give you a fair idea about whether your content is human-written. It is advisable that you use AI detection tools in unison with your own judgment.
Here we have compiled a list of some of the best AI text detector tools that you can use to detect AI writing –

Should You Trust an AI Detection Tool ?
Like we said before AI content detection tools can give you a fair idea of whether the content is AI generated or human written.

At various instances they may commit some errors when a highly sophisticated AI-generated text or even human-written text is presented.
