I’ve been in comms for a few months, where I’m tasked with long-form writing assignments. The first 2 times I wrote pieces, it took me 3X as long as is it should have, Panicked, I used ChatGPT so that I could meet deadlines, receive fewer edits, and to free up time to do other types of work. Then I found out about AI detectors. At first, I panicked. Then I ran everyone else’s work through a detector, and even those at the top are using it! We’re a communications firm! What next?

AI detectors don't work. Literally none of them.

If you absolutely need GPT to write for you though, it will be very obvious in the writing style and quality, and anyone who regularly reads will be able to see through it. And you probably shouldn't be doing that job anyway.

Author you are missing the point about what MGD 1 said. Ai detectors don’t work because if you write something really well with no spelling or grammar errors, it will often flag that as being written by AI when it actually wasn’t. So you really don’t know for sure if your fellow employees are using it to write everything and you don’t know if your agencies voice is from AI.

I had a job that involved hiring freelance writers and we assured clients that nothing was written by AI. I researched AI detectors so we could use them to have evidence that our articles were human-written. Every single AI detector had zero accuracy. I even ran several articles through them that I had written before AI writing was available, and it labeled them AI.

Probably others aren't using it. The detectors don't work, which you know, but you're hoping everybody's using AI so you don't have to feel bad about using AI.

It's pretty obvious to a human when someone relies on AI this hard—and even if nobody can prove ChatGPT is how you got the work, they'll notice the writing is bad.

You likely just need a new job. The deadlines of this one aren't working for you.

Writers are the best AI detectors. For anyone who writes for a living, it’s the difference between leather and pleather.

The number of times I’ve read something then watched the “author’s” face go white when asked which software they used… 😆

It’s hard to explain but outside of the occasional odd wording, there’s an organic feel to the prose when a human writes, as opposed to a program.

Smart writers may pull occasion nuggets from AI, but wisely write the majority of the piece themselves.

Also, who cares?

AI detectors don’t work. That said, I use AI for short form copy and to proofread and edit things I already wrote up - it’s excellent for that
