AI Content Detector – Free Heuristic Checker

HEADS UP

This is a heuristic pattern estimate, not a definitive AI detector. No tool, free or paid, can reliably prove whether text was written by AI. Use this as one signal among several, never as a final judgment about someone’s writing.


About this tool

The AI Content Detector scans pasted text for measurable patterns that show up more often in AI-generated writing than in typical human writing: uniform sentence lengths (low “burstiness”), and a set of stock phrases large language models reach for often, like “delve into,” “in today’s fast-paced world,” and “boasts unparalleled.” It combines these signals into a rough percentage estimate.

This is a pattern checker, not a lie detector. Every public AI detector, including paid ones, produces false positives on human writing and false negatives on lightly-edited AI writing. Use this tool to get a quick second opinion on a draft, not to make a final judgment about anyone’s writing.

How to use it

  1. Paste at least a paragraph or two of text – longer samples give more reliable sentence-variance stats.
  2. Click Analyze.
  3. Read the estimate percentage alongside the band description underneath it.
  4. Check which phrases were flagged, if any, and judge for yourself whether they fit the context.

Pro tips

  • Short samples (under ~5 sentences) are unreliable for the sentence-variance signal – paste more text if you can.
  • Technical or academic writing naturally has more uniform sentence structure than casual writing, which can push the estimate higher even for human authors.

FAQ

Can this prove a text was written by AI?
No. It is a heuristic estimate based on writing patterns, not a forensic tool. Treat a high score as “worth a second look,” not as proof.
Why did my own human-written text score high?
Very consistent sentence length and business-formal phrasing can trigger the same patterns as AI writing. The detector measures style, not authorship.
