Sometimes, tools that check for AI writing make mistakes. They might say you used AI like ChatGPT when you didn’t. This can be tough, especially if you’re a student or a writer making your own stuff. Whether it’s TurnItIn, GPTZero, or Netus.ai pointing fingers, it’s not a nice feeling to be accused wrongly.
Even our AI checker isn’t always right. Sometimes, it makes mistakes and says something is copied when it’s not. This can be really tough for people who make their own work. Imagine you’re a student and a tool like TurnItIn or GPTZero wrongly says you used ChatGPT. Or you’re a writer and Netus.ai mistakenly flags your work.
We wrote this article to help out. Learn about how AI checking tools work, how often they get it right, what to do if they mistake your work for AI’s, and how to keep it from happening again.
This piece gives a quick look at the big questions around mistakes these AI checkers make. If this has happened to you, here’s where to start. For more details on each point, check out the links we suggest in the text.
If you worked hard on writing something yourself, and someone thinks you didn’t do it without help from a computer, here’s what you can do.
If someone claims you didn’t write your work and used AI instead, here’s what you can do:
Here are tips that help you avoid and fix mistakes when guessing if text is by a person or AI.
“False positives in AI detection are a BIG deal and will not go away with the use of generative.” AI is growing fast. We want this article to make it easier for everyone to know what doesn’t work well with detection tools. We’ll share tips on the best ways to use them and how to show your work is truly your own.
It’s when artificial intelligence figures out if text was made by AI or a person.
Often, people get mixed up thinking a score saying “60% AI and 40% Original” means that 60% of the writing is by AI and the rest is by a person. That’s not right. It actually means there’s a 60% chance the whole thing was written by AI.
If your writing gets a score of “60% Original and 40% AI,” and you wrote it all, that’s not a mistake. It means the detector rightly sees your work as original.
Nope, AI Detectors aren’t perfect. After lots of tests on how well Netus.ai can spot things, we found it depends on what AI tool and big computer brain (we call these large language models) was used to make the stuff you’re reading.
For our newest version, Lite 1.0.0, which came out in July 2024, it gets things right 98% of the time but might get confused 1% of the time. It’s cool because it lets you do some light touch-ups, like fixing spelling with Grammarly. This is really handy for people making websites, marketing pros, and teachers.
Then in October 2024, we brought out an even better version called Turbo. This one is right more than 99% of the time but can still get mixed up less than 3% of the time. It’s super if you really, really don’t want any AI stuff slipping through.

Also, take a look at a big review of eight studies from other folks that show just how great Netus.ai is at spotting AI work.
We looked at how good Netus.ai is at finding stuff written by GPT-4, and we also saw how it does compared to other tools that try to do the same thing.
This test was done earlier, not with the latest model. To see how well it can tell the difference, we put it through a test. We checked it with texts, some were made by AI and some were written by people.
Tricking AI detectors isn’t hard. If you change a few words with a tool like Quillbot, you can often make it through without getting caught. However, Netus.ai is different. It can tell if the writing is from an AI, if it’s original, or if someone just changed some words around.
Are AI Writings Hidden Well? Getting AI writing to pass as undetectable can be tricky, but it’s doable with some changes in the text. But when it comes to tools like Quillbot, which just switch out words, Netus.ai is on top of it. It spots what’s been switched up.
A false positive happens when an AI tool wrongly thinks that content made by a person was actually made by AI.
People sometimes get confused about false positives. So, let’s make it clear. Here’s the way Netus.ai figures out if content is made by AI or by a person, looking at different ways content can be created…
AI helps make an idea or plan for writing by researching or making an outline. How much AI is used can change and might influence if the text seems like it’s from a human or AI.
If an AI starts the plan and a human writes some of it, then AI finishes it; tools like Netus.ai can tell it’s made by AI.
This means it’s correctly identified. Also, if ChatGPT writes something and a person edits it a lot, but it still looks like AI made it, that’s also correct recognition.
This question isn’t easy and people are still talking about it because AI is being used more and more. Our Lite 1.0.0 model lets you do some AI editing.
This means you can use well-known tools like Grammarly to check spelling and grammar while you edit. In general, it’s good to be clear about using AI, whether you’re making an outline or doing edits.
In our world, sadly, no AI detector is perfect. They sometimes say something is made by AI when it’s not. So, how should we use these AI detectors?
AI detectors can’t always be 100% sure when they tell us if something was written by AI or not. They can’t prove beyond doubt that something was made by AI.
So, what’s the best way to go about it?
Customers of Netus.ai who tried this found out who was using AI, even if they were told not to. They also felt sure about ignoring any mistakes in spotting the AI.

But, when it comes to school rules, just using AI detection scores isn’t enough. – Thoughts on Using AI Detection Scores
Some people wonder whether it’s a good idea to use AI detection tools if they can’t catch everything. At Netus.ai, we believe in our tools. We’ve worked hard to make sure they do a great job and we even have free tools to help lower mistakes.
Imagine if we didn’t check AI-made content at all. It could cause a lot of problems for many of us.
ChatGPT and tools similar to HuggingChat have arrived and we can’t go back to how things were before. Everyone who writes has to get used to this new situation.
Lately, with ChatGPT and tools that find AI use going up, schools have faced some tough times.
Here’s what happened:
It’s important to say… we at Netus.ai think it’s not right to just use an AI score to punish someone. If the score hints at AI use, it’s best to look closely at the work, one by one.
