## What the AI Score Represents

The AI Score is a percentage that reflects how likely it is that the content was generated by AI.
* **Higher percentages** indicate a greater likelihood of AI-generated content
* **Lower percentages** indicate a greater likelihood of human-written content
* Some content may fall into a **mixed category**, meaning it likely contains both AI and human input
This score is generated based on advanced analysis of writing patterns, structure, and linguistic signals.

## How to Interpret the AI Score

While the AI Score is a helpful indicator, it should be interpreted carefully:
* It reflects **probability, not certainty**
* Some writing styles may naturally appear more “AI-like”
* Edited or AI-assisted content may produce **mixed results**
For best results, use the AI Score alongside the full scan breakdown and highlighted sections.
