Why students use AI detector tool by Litero AI?

What is an AI Detector

The growing use of AI means it 's common to see text, images, or videos made by AI, and sometimes we might not even be able to know a real person didn't make them. An AI detector tool has become crucial on the internet and if you're someone who writes a lot, whether it 's for school, work, or fun. Using an AI generated text detector means you can improve your writing, know if something was made with AI, and help you edit a text.

How to Use an AI Detector

There are two main ways of using a tool like this one. The first is to simply use it as a way to know if something in your essay or text looks like AI, which lets you be prepared in case you have to answer any questions from your teacher. The second way is probably more useful, and it means using it as an editing tool. For example, when you use the AI detector function in Litero, you 'll get a highlighted version of your essay for you to look through and see what the program identified. This means you can now modify these phrases to sound more human and natural, even if you wrote them and not an AI. You can then ask the program to rephrase the text, and in programs like Litero, you can choose the tone, so it can be casual, academic, etc. depending on what you need.

Could You Get Away With Not Using One?

You could, but there 's no guarantee that you won 't have any issues later on, even if you're using AI for anything. Chances are, everyone who needs to read something another person sends in is already skeptical about whether they used AI, so any odd sentence or weird idea is bound to make them even more suspicious. Moreover, if you are using AI, you need to make sure that it 's undetectable, and that means using an AI detector tool. While there is no best AI detector, the current options offer a pretty good way of detecting AI. Programs like Litero look for common patterns that tend to be associated with AI-written text, and then they highlight these phrases to tell you which ones sound a bit too much like AI. The good thing about using this tool is that your teachers are probably using their own AI essay detector, and if you do get a message asking whether you used AI, you're prepared to explain why that is your original writing.

I Didn't Use AI, Do I Still Need One?

The growing popularity and usage of AI means that the data it uses keeps growing, making it sound better and more human. However, this means that some of your sentences or arguments can look very similar to what an AI can produce. This leads to the obvious question of why we need one if we didn't use AI, and there are two elements for this answer. The first is that even if we don 't want to, our writing can look odd and weird, and this leads to the second element that concerns improving our writing because it looks like AI. Using an AI text detector means you can know which parts of your text look weird or too robotic, and it can help your audience, especially your teachers, to see that your writing sounds and looks original. It can feel unfair if the AI detector flags something as written by AI, but the good news is that it 's better to fix that now than to have to explain to someone else that you did write that assignment.
