False positives happen in about 1.56% of cases of AI detector false positives

This article will explain the most common false positives and how to avoid them

Lowering Your False Positive Rate

You can lower your rate of false positives by:

Making sure that no tools were used to generate, edit, or plan your content. Every tool is powered by AI and will increase our AI score. Even if you rewrite content, or planned the content yourself, or an AI only did the editing… it will still raise our AI score
Avoiding software like Grammarly, ChatGPT, Quillbot, Microsoft Word Editor, or other tools
Scanning as much of the content as possible (instead of only scanning a paragraph, or the intro, or conclusion, or etc)
Avoiding formulaic content. (intros, conclusions, recipes, works cited pages)
Using our Chrome extension to "watch a writer write". It allows you to see the edit history of a Google Doc and run scans at each point along the edit history. You can see how the AI score changes over time

The most common false positives are caused by:

Tool usage
Short content
Formulaic content
Public domain works
Academic content
