Originality AI Plagiarism and Fact Checker - Publish With Integrity (original) (raw)

Can I See Previous Scans?

Yes, all scans are stored for later retrieval or sharing. Complete removal of your account and data is available upon request.

Do you Have a Plagiarism Checking and AI Detection API?

Yes, we have a robust API and have integrated it into the content operations platforms for some of the largest publishers / writing agencies and marketplaces in the world.

Full documentation is in the backend. If you have a unique use case or are wondering about capabilities to handle your volume please reach out and we will be happy to discuss your needs.

How Does AI Detection Work?

Our internally built artificial intelligence uses supervised learning with multiple models including a modified BERT model to predict if content is AI or Original. Our AI has been provided with millions of records both AI and Original content then trained to tell the difference between the two. After each training session a large test data set is used to evaluate if the new model is an improvement or not.

What Do AI Detection Scores Mean?

AI detection scores are a prediction on the chance that the text submitted was AI generated or Original. They are not a measure on the amount of AI vs amount of Original content in a given text.

We recommend not applying a similar “hard” rule when it comes to working with AI scores and writers. If a writer consistently has high Originality scores but then on one article has a higher AI score, this could very likely be a false positive and further investigation should occur.

‍Here is our guidance on how to interpret the AI scores for writers.

Does Originality.ai Provide Paraphrase Detection?

Yes, Originality.ai’s AI is the only available AI that has been trained to detect if content has been paraphrased with a tool like Quillbot. If a piece of text, regardless of whether it started as AI or Human, is run through a paraphrasing tool like Quillbot Originality.ai will identify the content as AI generated 95% of the time.

What Can Cause False Positives?

False positives in AI detection do occur and we are sorry if Originality.ai identified your content as AI. It is different for every tool and a specific reason on what the AI identified as causing it to predict the con

Here are 7 tips for minimizing false positives…

  1. A detection score of 60% Original and 40% AI is not a false positive. It correctly predicted with 60% confidence that your content was Original. The meaning of the score is not that 60% was Original and 40% was AI it means it is 60% confident the content is Original.
  2. Editing AI-written content is not a false positive - it is a true positive
  3. Having AI edit your work is not a false positive - it is a true positive
  4. When any amount of AI touches the content it can cause the entire article to be flagged as AI
  5. “Cyborg” writing where a lot of AI tools are used to create an outline, suggest edits, optimize the content can increase the chance of a higher AI score. (For this reason we created a free content optimizer tool similar to SurferSEO or MarketMuse but 100% free that does not use AI to reduce the chance of a false positive occurring.)
  6. Strange formatting can reduce the accuracy of the detector tools causing an increase in false positives or false negatives.
  7. The shorter the text the less accurate the detection score. We recommend at least 100 words being checked.

We apologize if our tool has incorrectly identified your writing as AI!

What do you do if you have been falsely accused of using AI?

False Positives - What Do I Do If I Have Been Falsely Accused of Using AI?

A false positive is when human-written content is identified as AI-written text by an AI detector. False positives do occur and can cause a lot of pain. Across hundreds of thousands of tests we currently see false positives occurring about 2% of the time that human work is submitted.

2% false positives, despite being the lowest in the industry based on our accuracy test, is too high.

The AI researchers and machine learning engineers at Originality are working constantly to both improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives.

We are heavily focused on equipping writers with tools to help them prove their contents Originality.

It was for the purpose of helping writers prove that their work was original that we developed a free Chrome Extension that allows anyone to visualise the creation process of a Google Document

How Does Originality.ai Compare to Other AI Content Detectors?

Originality.ai is the most accurate AI content detector producing the fewest false positives while also the only tool that accurately identifies a piece of content (human or AI) that has been paraphrased.

See the complete study analyzing how Originality.ai matches up in detection capabilities to other AI detectors here - See Case Study.

The image below shows the results of a test of 1200 text samples, 600 AI generated and 600 human generated tested across multiple AI detectors:

The table below shows the features Originality.ai has including…

Originality.ai is more than an AI detector. We are an innovative organization building out a comprehensive suite of content QA tools that will help you gain control over the quality of your content. Readability scores will be added in the near future.

How Accurate is Originality.ai AI Content Detection Tool?

When we tested Originality.ai on the latest models released by OpenAI, Originality.ai Lite demonstrated up to 99%+ accuracy.

- GPT-o1-preview accuracy with Originality.ai Lite: 91.66%

- GPT-4o-mini accuracy with Originality.ai Lite: 99.6%

- Llama 3.1 accuracy with Originality.ai Lite: 99.1%

The newly released updated Turbo model also demonstrates exceptional accuracy with 99%+ accuracy and a false positive rate under 3%. Turbo is very challenging/extremely difficult to bypass. It's an excellent choice for when you have a very low tolerance for AI content.

Learn more in our AI detection accuracy review, meta-analysis of third-party studies, and article on false positives. We've included an image below from our testing on GPT-4, a previous OpenAI model. It's what's known as a “confusion matrix” that is used to assess the accuracy of an AI prediction machine. Each prediction our AI makes on a test data set is grouped into one of four buckets:

- True Positive - AI detector correctly identified AI content as AI

- False Negative - AI detector incorrectly identified AI content as Human

- False Positive - AI detector incorrectly identified Human content as AI

- True Negative - AI detector correctly identified Human content as Human

The image below shows the confusion matrix for Originality tested on GPT-4 generated content.

What is AI Generated Text?

AI-generated text is words that have been written by Artificial Intelligence (AI) specifically using Large Language Models (LLMs). The most common example is OpenAI’s ChatGPT which is an AI using OpenAI’s NLP Models (GPT-3, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) to understand a users prompt and provide a written response.

For the purposes of AI text detection we aim to flag any content that has been meaningfully changed by AI. We try and take an approach consistent when defining what is Plagiarism “Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own.” when training our AI detection model.

Slight editing with Grammarly or similar is NOT considered AI generated.
