AI checkers are starting to transform how we handle plagiarism and authenticity verification online, and on our smart devices. With the onset of things like the AI Checker it’s no wonder that we have a need to open dialogue about how this amazing technology can benefit humanity.
The main mission behind the original release of Open AI’s technology in ChatGPT was to help bring AI to humanity for the betterment of mankind. As you can see, over the time that we’ve had access to such technologies, we’ve seen some shady players arrive in the world causing a little chaos and mistrust amongst each other as AI continues to sneak into our lives.
These new checker technologies help us combat the takeover of AI content. While we can see a positive experience with AI writers and research tools, we know that the shady players who walk that fine line of possible misuse of this technology, we need a detector option to help us evaluate if something is authentic or plagiarized.
What is an AI checker?
This is a piece of technology that has been created to help identify content that may be manipulated or straight up created by artificial intelligence. The process in how this tool works is that it uses the same technology known as natural language processing and machine learning to determine if the content provided to the checker fits inside of the program’s trained model to detect a piece of AI created content.
The aim of this tool is to help revolutionize plagiarism and authenticity verification. We needed a tool that helps us keep things authentic online. The only reasonable option was to use the same process AI content creators use, so that a detection model can reverse engineer the content. This means the checker will evaluate a piece of content based on the set parameters inside its algorithm to determine if this text was touched by artificial intelligence at any level.
This holds true for detecting any part of the content that AI touched such as something that was manipulated by AI. Think about a piece of content that was reworded and revamped by AI; then, this checker should analyze and notice what happened. While this technology is amazing, it is still learning how to be more accurate and reliable for those who want to use it.
Why do we need AI checkers?
There is a need for AI checkers because artificial intelligence is creating a lot of videos, images, and content in our world. From people attending college or high school to the media that provides our news to us and all online platforms, AI is everywhere. This content is not always trustworthy, either.
That means that we need checkers to tell us if something shared with us is authentic or not. The more we see AI content pushed out by media outlets and social media platforms, the more we get confused and unable to tell fact from fiction. This is why these tools are so important. They can help us better identify if something is authentic.
A person who is used to consuming robotic content online such as the repetitive news sources who say the same things over and over, or the social media platforms that push similar robotic wording to help you buy their course or product, may not notice if something is developed by AI. That’s just the world we live in.
That means this tool is going to be your sidekick and handy device to have access to. That is if you want to protect yourself from consuming false narratives and fake information. These detection models are created to help us run a program that knows AI better than we do, because it’s made from the same technology, that can decipher the masses of content we consume to tell us which version is authentic and which is fake.
Not only that, but this helps us comprehend how many people are duplicating other people’s content. With a plagiarism checker that is managed by AI technology, you can’t go wrong with learning which piece of content was repurposed from someone else with or without permission. This will help us keep the internet more reliable and authentic, at least that’s the hopeful purpose of this technology.
As of today it seems that more people are learning about these detection options and finding that they’re capable of identifying more AI generative text which helps you tailor your online media consumption to be more aligned with human drafted content.
Why would you want to have more human drafted content in your feed? Well, it’s simple really; the risk of false information being drafted by a human sharing their personal experiences is far lower than an AI created text that has no real life experiences to pull from when sharing information with us.
Not only can we use this checker in our personal lives, but teachers are starting to use this detection technology to evaluate students’ paperwork and essays. With so many of us having easy access to AI technology, it is only reasonable to assume students are using this technology for essay writing or searching, and while some schools allow that, you must remember to keep an up to date AI rulebook so your students know. This checker will help you uphold classroom rules regarding AI usage.
The ultimate reason that these AI checkers are revolutionizing plagiarism and authenticity verification is because they allow us in our personal and professional lives to have some control over what we’re consuming. Having some level of control about what we take into our minds online is a very important part of remaining authentic and safe from harm done by misinformation.
The ability for this technology to adapt as it continues to learn from the content we put into it, is amazing to say the least. AI learns faster than we can and will keep up with the ever expanding reality of AI content writers who are attempting to humanize content to bypass such detection algorithms.
With all this said, it’s imperative that you remember to double check the AI checkers for they are not always accurate. This is the downside to using this detection software; it’s still a piece of programmed technology that can get the results incorrect.
This is why we recommend using your best judgement and using this software as a way to detect AI content, plagiarism, and maintain authenticity while creating an open discussion between you, your students, and colleagues to double check if they used AI or not. We must maintain some level of communication amongst ourselves to determine if the AI checker may have got the results wrong.
