🤖 ChatGPT Detectors
- This online demo helps to analyze text and predict if it was written by a human or an AI.
- The results start to get reliable after around 50 tokens (roughly 50 words).
- The results are displayed on a continuum from Real (at 0%) to Fake (at 100%).
- This online tool helps to analyze text and predict if it was written by a human or an AI.
- GPT Zero works best for several paragraphs, or 10+ contiguous sentences of reasonable length.
- Text length must be greater than 5 words and at most 1500 words.
- The tool examines the text "perplexity" (the randomness of the text) and "burstiness" (non common items in random clusters).
- The final GPTZero score will indicate the likelihood of the text being "human generated" or "AI generated" or "More data needed".
