TLDR: AI detection services like Originality outperform Turnitin in spotting AI content, with tools like Fasely and Undetectable effectively bypassing detection
This article is a summary of a You Tube video “Unbelievable! The Easiest Way to Bypass AI Content Detection – How I Did It!” by Andy Stapleton
Key Takeaways:
- Testing of AI Detection Services: The person tested five major AI detection services using an original PhD abstract and its AI-modified versions to assess the effectiveness of these services.
- Inconsistency in Detection: Among the services, there was notable inconsistency, with services like Originality performing better in detecting AI-generated content than others like Turnitin.
- Use of AI Rewriting Tools: Multiple AI rewriting tools were used to modify the original abstract to see if they could bypass the AI detection mechanisms effectively.
- Quality of Rewritten Content: The quality of the rewritten content was variable, with some tools making “weird choices” in wording that would not be suitable for academic submission.
- Comparative Performance: Tools like Fasely and Undetectable were more successful in evading detection from Originality, one of the more effective detection services.
- Turnitin’s Performance: Turnitin showed relatively poor performance in detecting AI content compared to other tools, often failing to identify rewritten content as AI-generated.
- GPT-0 Detection: Another service, GPT-0, also showed inconsistencies similar to Turnitin in detecting AI content.
- Economic Cost: The person invested a significant amount of money in these services to conduct this experiment, highlighting the financial cost of using multiple AI detection and rewriting services.
- Advisory Against Misuse: Despite the ability to bypass some detection tools, the person advised against using such rewrites for academic submissions without substantial modifications and original contributions.
- Ethical Considerations and Recommendations: It was suggested that such AI tools should be used as aids for drafting or improving content, not for direct academic submission, to ensure integrity and originality in scholarly work.
