How AI Detection Tools Work

Understanding the methods used by AI detection systems and how to ensure your content passes.

AI detection tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Understanding how they work can help you produce cleaner, more natural content.

Detection Methods

1. Perplexity Analysis

AI-generated text often has low "perplexity" - meaning it's more predictable than human writing. Detection tools measure this predictability.

2. Burstiness Detection

Human writing varies in sentence length and complexity. AI tends to be more uniform. Detection tools look for this lack of "burstiness."

3. Character Analysis

Many tools scan for the telltale Unicode characters and formatting that AI systems often include - exactly what CopyCleanse removes.

4. Pattern Recognition

Machine learning models are trained on known AI-generated text to recognize characteristic patterns.

How CopyCleanse Helps

While CopyCleanse doesn't change your writing style (that's up to you!), it does:

  • Remove invisible Unicode markers
  • Normalize typography to human conventions
  • Clean tracking parameters from links
  • Eliminate formatting artifacts

The Bottom Line

The best approach to AI-assisted content is to:

  1. Use AI as a starting point
  2. Edit and personalize the content
  3. Clean technical artifacts with CopyCleanse
  4. Review before publishing
