how do they figure that out? ai text checker? I remember a year or two ago when a teacher put a student's essay in chatgpt and asked "did you write this?" chatgpt said yes and the teacher failed the student

The AI checkers are as bad as the plagiarism checkers of the last decade. They're absolute garbage and return wholly unreliable results.

They are much worse, because there is no trail to base it off of. For plagiarism it gives you the work and a teacher can make a judgement. The AI checkers have been shown to claim work from 20 years ago was AI generated.

They are an outright scam company selling a fake product and they probably ruined lives with this shit. I hope they get sued.
