AI Detectors vs. Plagiarism Checkers

AI detectors and plagiarism checkers are both used to verify the originality and authenticity of a text, but they differ in terms of how they work and what they’re looking for.

AI detector

AI Detector or ChatGPT Detector

AI detectors try to find text that looks like it was generated by an AI writing tool, like ChatGPT. They do this by measuring specific characteristics of the text like sentence structure and length, word choice, and predictability — not by comparing it to a database of content.

Plagiarism report

Plagiarism Checker

Plagiarism checkers try to find text that is copied from a different source. They do this by comparing the text to a large database of web pages, news articles, journals, and so on, and detecting similarities — not by measuring specific characteristics of the text.

Your questions, answered

What’s included in the free version of the AI detector?

Scribbr’s free AI Detector lets you check an unlimited number of English texts, up to 500 words in length. Only if you’re interested in plagiarism checking, we recommend upgrading to a premium check.

Does it detect content generated by ChatGPT, GPT4, or Google Bard?

Scribbr’s AI and ChatGPT Detector confidently detects texts generated by the most popular tools, like ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing Chat.

GPT2, GPT3, and GPT3.5 are detected with high accuracy, while the detection of GPT4 is supported on an experimental basis.

How accurate is the AI detection software?

Our AI Detector can detect most texts generated by popular tools like ChatGPT and Bard. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. The software works especially well with longer texts but can make mistakes if the AI output was prompted to be less predictable or was edited or paraphrased after being generated.

Our research into the best AI detectors indicates that no tool can provide complete accuracy; the highest accuracy we found was 84% in a premium tool or 68% in the best free tool.

How do I interpret the AI score?

The AI score is a percentage between 0% and 100%, indicating the likelihood that a text has been generated by AI.
