Detection across 15 languages

Perplexity baselines are trained per language, because a sentence that looks statistically flat in English can be perfectly natural in German or Japanese. Scanning non-English text with an English-only detector is the single most common source of false positives.

What Is an AI Detector and How Does It Work?

An AI detector is a classifier that estimates the probability that a passage was produced by a large language model rather than a person.

It does not look for copied phrases the way a plagiarism checker does. It measures statistical properties of the writing itself, mainly word predictability and sentence rhythm, and compares them against baselines built from known human and known machine text.

The output is a probability, not a verdict. A high score means the text carries strong markers of generation. That is evidence to investigate, not proof of authorship.

Perplexity

How surprising the next word is

Perplexity measures how predictable each word is given the words before it. Language models are trained to pick high-probability words, so machine text tends to sit in a narrow, low-perplexity band. Human writers reach for the odd unexpected word far more often.

Lower perplexity, higher AI probability

Burstiness

How much sentence length varies

Human prose is bursty: a nine word sentence lands next to a thirty word one. Generated prose regresses toward the mean, producing paragraphs where almost every sentence is the same length. GBT Zero scores the variance, not just the average.

Flat variance, higher AI probability

Structural uniformity

How repetitive the shape of the writing is

Models fall into habits: identical paragraph openings, matched clause pairs, the same connective every third sentence. We fingerprint syntactic patterns across the whole document rather than judging sentences in isolation.

Repeating templates, higher AI probability

Semantic drift

Whether the argument actually goes anywhere

Generated passages often restate the premise in new words instead of advancing it. We track how far the meaning travels between sentences to catch fluent text that is informationally flat.

Low drift with high fluency, higher AI probability

What happens when you press scan

  1. Tokenise

    The passage is split into sentences and sub-word tokens.

  2. Score

    Each token gets a predictability score against per-model baselines.

  3. Aggregate

    Sentence scores roll up into perplexity, burstiness and uniformity readings.

  4. Explain

    Every sentence is colour-coded so you can see which lines drove the result.

What an AI Detector Can and Cannot Tell You

No detector is a lie detector for authorship. Knowing where the boundary sits is what separates a useful signal from a bad accusation.

What it does well

Flags statistically flat writing
Passages with unusually low word surprise and uniform sentence length are surfaced reliably.
Localises the problem
Sentence-level scoring tells you which four lines to rewrite instead of condemning a whole article.
Scales screening
Triaging hundreds of submissions to find the ten worth reading closely is exactly the job detection suits.
Improves prose
Even on fully human text, the burstiness reading tells you when your writing has gone monotonous.

Where it should never be the last word

It is not proof of authorship
A score is probabilistic evidence. Disciplinary or contractual decisions need corroboration such as drafts, version history or a conversation.
Short samples are unreliable
Under roughly 150 words there is not enough variance to measure. Scan the longest sample you have.
Non-native English is over-flagged industry-wide
Simpler vocabulary and steadier sentence length look like low perplexity. Scan in the writer's own language where you can.
Heavy editing blurs the line
AI-drafted text rewritten by a person is genuinely mixed, and any tool claiming a clean binary on it is overstating.

If a Result Looks Wrong, Do This

Every detector produces false positives. What matters is what happens next. This is the order to work through, whether you are the writer being questioned or the person doing the questioning.

  1. 01

    Check the sample length before anything else

    Under roughly 150 words, no detector has enough variance to measure and scores swing wildly. Rescan the longest continuous version you have. If the whole document is short, the result should not be used at all.

  2. 02

    Scan in the language the text was written in

    Running Spanish or Hindi prose against an English baseline is the single largest source of false positives industry-wide. GBT Zero keeps per-language baselines, so pick the right one rather than translating first.

  3. 03

    Read the sentence highlighting, not the headline number

    Open the flagged lines. If they are definitions, standard disclaimers, method sections or technical boilerplate, that is expected: formulaic writing is genuinely low-perplexity whoever wrote it. A score driven entirely by boilerplate is not evidence of anything.

  4. 04

    If you wrote it, gather process evidence

    Version history in Google Docs or Word, dated drafts, notes, browser history, or a commit log all demonstrate authorship far better than a counter-scan. Ask whoever raised the flag to look at your process, because that is the evidence a score cannot provide.

  5. 05

    If you are reviewing, open a conversation rather than a case

    Ask the writer to talk through their argument and their sources. Someone who wrote a piece can explain why they cut a section. Treating a probability as a finding is how institutions end up apologising.

  6. 06

    Tell us when we get it wrong

    Reported false positives are how baselines improve. Send the passage and the score you saw, and it feeds directly into the next calibration pass.

Reporting a wrong result takes a minute and genuinely helps. Send us the passage.

AI Detection Terms, In Plain English

Every term that turns up in a detection report, defined without the jargon.

Perplexity
A measure of how surprised a language model is by the next word in a sequence. Low perplexity means the wording was highly predictable, which is a core marker of generated text.
Burstiness
The variation in sentence length and complexity across a passage. Human writing is bursty; generated writing clusters tightly around an average.
False positive
Human writing that a detector scores as AI generated. Most commonly triggered by short samples, technical boilerplate or non-native English phrasing.
Mixed content
Text that combines machine drafting with human editing. It legitimately scores between the two poles, which is why a single percentage is less useful than sentence-level output.
Watermarking
A statistical pattern some providers embed at generation time so their own output can be identified later. It only works for models that implement it, so detection cannot rely on it alone.
Tokenisation
Splitting text into sub-word units a model actually processes. Detection scores are computed per token, then rolled up to sentences.
AI humaniser
A tool that paraphrases generated text to raise its perplexity and burstiness. It changes surface statistics rather than adding original substance, and modern detectors score structural signals it does not touch.
Plagiarism vs detection
A plagiarism checker matches your text against existing sources. An AI detector measures statistical properties of the writing itself. They answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
