Over the past 30 days, I’ve had 130 chats with an AI generative model—averaging 4.33 chats per day. I’ve personally witnessed the growing efficiency of these tools in a variety of professional tasks and everyday needs. However, are the results generated from them safe and future-proof? Does the fear of being detected stop people from using them more?
In a recent post by Jon Gillham, founder of Originality.ai, the research has indicated that about 10.2% of Google search results contain AI-generated content, a significant increase from the previous 2.3% before GPT-3's launch. This translates to roughly one in every ten websites.
Recently I have asked myself a question – is it really possible for modern algorithms to detect the use of AI-generated text? How can people secure their work for future detection algorithms that could be potentially more powerful? Let’s explore.
Perception, Detection, and Reputation
There is an air of apprehension about AI-generated content detection, particularly concerning brand image and perception. For brands known for their 'personal touch' or 'human communication,’ having their content discovered as AI-generated could, rightly or wrongly, cast doubt on their authenticity.
In December 2023, Sports Illustrated published several articles. However, it turned out that these publications were written using generative AI models and that non-existent authors were mentioned in them. The incident received publicity and started a large public debate regarding the use of AI, especially without specific labels. This case, which had a significant impact on brand reputation, showed that AI is not the solution to all problems.
This shortcoming occurred due to growing confidence that AI-generated text cannot be detected. This mishap at Sports Illustrated proves to be a reminder of that.
Text uniqueness is known to play an important role in improving a website's SEO score. Search engines, like Google, surely do have instruments to detect AI-generated content and they don’t bother to use them. One way or another, Google has its own generative AI tool, Gemini, which requires training on human content.
TTools that help make content more unique can significantly improve human-like scores and increase the overall ranking of content. These tools, integrated with AI, can help create consistently original content, save time, and help to prevent potential detection or plagiarism issues. As a result, they provide an efficient way to quickly prepare content and enhance its quality and, consequently, the overall SEO performance of a website
The Prevalence of AI Detection
AI detection has not yet become mainstream, but it is rapidly evolving. Algorithms are being perfected to spot patterns characteristic of AI-generated text.
According to recent trends, Google has revealed the 2024 Merchant Center product data specification update, where they guide merchants to disclose any text content created using generative AI using the attributes.
Following that, Medium has banned the use of AI generated content beginning on May 1, 2024.
While AI content generation is undoubtedly on the ascent, detection technologies are still in progress and could become more prevalent in the future.
What do people say? Findings from study results
I recently conducted a survey among a qualified audience in Sweden, uncovering several insights:
Over 74% of active AI-generated model users do believe that AI can be detected.
The respondents reported that AI can be detected by patterns specific to generative-AI models, that AI models do have logical errors and inconsistencies, and that they can be generally detected with specific software.
The data displays strategies employed by respondents to lessen the detectability of AI-generated content.
The most common method is paraphrasing the generated content in their own words, used by 60.22% of respondents, while other approaches include manual post-editing and using specialized tools to conceal AI generation.
The HumanizeAI.now Advantage
While the survey shows many users attempting manual paraphrasing (60.22%) or using basic tools, more sophisticated solutions have emerged. HumanizeAI.now stands out by offering real-time AI detection feedback—a unique feature in the market that helps users ensure their content remains undetectable.
💡 Key Insight
Unlike other solutions, HumanizeAI.now shows you exactly how your content performs against multiple AI detectors before you publish, eliminating the uncertainty that 74% of users express about AI detection.
Modern Solutions for Modern Challenges
While basic paraphrasing and manual editing remain popular, they're increasingly insufficient against sophisticated detection algorithms. HumanizeAI.now addresses this by:
• Providing real-time detection scores
• Ensuring consistent results across all major detectors
• Maintaining content quality and readability
• Offering transparent verification
Conclusion and Solution
As we can see from the provided data, AI-generated content has become increasingly prominent across various media and internet resources. The generative-AI models can significantly enhance productivity and save time and resources, yet they do still carry the risk of being detected, which arouses fear amongst many individuals.
The research conducted in Sweden has revealed that many people don’t fully utilize Gen-AI tools to their full potential because of the fear of being detected while placing resources publicly. Users remain cautious because the long-term viability of using AI-generated content is not yet clear.
Interestingly, many platforms now restrict the use of AI-generated content to preserve the authenticity of information published on the platform. However, its potential impact is not yet clear on how that will affect the SEO rankings, considering their dual interest in employing the AI and encouraging users to create unique and real content.
There have been notable developments in tools designed to detect AI-generated content, claiming to detect AI-generated content. However, they still can be inconsistent, providing differing results based on text input variations, and cannot be directly relied on in academics. for example, they provide false positives and people don't fully trust them but are still scared of any hint of having a positive detection result.
Moreover, the market has started to see tools that help users make their content unique and human, users are yet to evaluate their efficiency.
