AI detector
An AI detector is a tool that claims to tell whether text or an image was made by AI. For text in particular, these tools are unreliable: they produce false accusations, especially against people writing in a second language.
In one line, for a 12-year-old
An AI detector tries to guess if a computer wrote something — and it often guesses wrong.
An example
A student's own essay is flagged as "90% AI" because it uses simple, formal sentences.
Why it matters to people
A detector score should never be the only evidence for a cheating accusation. Schools do better with clear rules, drafts and conversations.
