The method used by ChatGPT to identify plagiarism has evolved.

Currently, ChatGPT in particular and chatbots in general are quite popular. On the other hand, due of how accurate and humanlike its solutions are, researchers, professors, and editors are all having to deal with a growing amount of AI-generated plagiarism and cheating. Your out-of-date plagiarism detectors could be unable to distinguish between original and copied content.

In this essay, I explore this terrifying aspect of AI chatbots, look at several online plagiarism detection strategies, and explore the seriousness of the situation.


A variety of detection techniques

The most current iteration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which was released in November 2022, is mostly to blame for highlighting chatbot proficiency. It made it possible for the average person (or expert) to produce incisive, understandable essays or articles and respond to mathematical questions presented in textual form. Because the content produced by AI may easily trick an unskilled reader into thinking it is authentic, students love it while teachers hate it.


The race to find solutions to stop artificial intelligence from cheating has thus begun. I’ve created a list of substitutes that I’ve discovered to be currently available for free.

The company that developed ChatGPT, OpenAI, has produced a bot dubbed GPT-2 Output Detector that can identify chatbot content. Users merely need to enter text into a text field to use Output Detector, and the programme will then evaluate whether the text has human- or machine-like properties.

The Best application for Detecting ChatGPT

The programs Content at Scale and Grammica AI Detector both have user-friendly interfaces. Each result is given a percentage score indicating how likely it is that the content was produced by humans.

A Princeton University student named Edward Zen created GPTZero, a self-hosted beta tool. The “algiarism” (AI-assisted plagiarism) model’s results are presented in a manner that is unique from the rest. GPTZero divides the measurements into complexity and volatility. Whereas perplexity measures the randomness of a single line, burstiness measures the unpredictable nature of an entire text. Like GPTZero, it doesn’t indicate if its results are “human” or “bot,” allowing the reader to make their own inferences. GLTR relies on automated writing to identify automated writing since it tends to use fewer random word choices. In order to demonstrate the results, we rank AI-generated text against human-generated language using a color-coded histogram. Language with a higher level of unpredictability is written by a person.

Putting them under rigorous evaluation.

One might conclude from all of these options that AI detection has attained its goal. But I needed to test out each of these tools to see for myself how effectively they performed. Hence, I ran a few of the paragraphs I had written in response to the questions I had asked using ChatGPT.
My immediate issue was the perceived stigma associated with buying a prebuilt personal computer. Here are how my responses compared to those of ChatGPT.

Blog Overview

It becomes obvious that internet plagiarism detectors have shortcomings when comparing the outcomes of each search. Basic responses are much more difficult to distinguish, whereas more complex ones (like my second request) make it simpler for these technologies to identify the AI-based writing. Yet it is certainly in no way trustworthy.
To recognise information produced by AIs at this time, editors and educators will need to combine one (or more) of these AI detectors with discretion and a little human sense. Don’t do it, Chatsonic, ChatGPT, Notion, and YouChat users who have attempted to pass off your “work” as legitimate. No matter how you look at it, copying content created by a bot (which draws from pre-established sources in its database) is still unethical and against the law.
