GPTZero is an AI detection tool from the company GPTZero, founded in January 2023, used by students, teachers and other readers. You paste text or upload a document, and it highlights phrases that may be AI-generated. It also offers a Hallucination Detector, a plagiarism checker, writing feedback and Writing Replay, which shows a video of the writing process. The site states that results should not be used to punish or as the final verdict.
A practical workflow
- Paste your text or upload a document
- Read the highlighted phrases and the document-level result
- Treat the result as a reason to look closer, not as proof
- Compare with drafts or version history and talk with the writer
Illustrative input
This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.
Check whether my own 800-word essay draft gets flagged as AI-written, so I can discuss any wrong flag with my teacher.
Result check: Do not treat a score as proof; compare it with drafts and version history, and follow your school's policy on AI detectors.
