AI detectors work by looking for patterns in text that are more likely to have been written by a machine than a human.

Yes. Independent benchmarks, like our partners at Penn State’s AI Research Lab, and our own large-scale testing show that GPTZero is [the most accurate](https://gptzero.me/news/ai-accuracy-benchmarking) AI detector, with a 99% accuracy rate when spotting AI-generated text vs. human writing, a false negative rate under 2%, and a false positive rate under 1%. ### How do I use GPTZero’s AI detection tool?

No AI detector is 100% accurate, and AI itself is changing constantly. Results should not be used to punish or as the final verdict. Accuracy improves with longer inputs (document-level results are stronger than paragraph or sentence-level) and is strongest on English prose. ### How does GPTZero AI Vocabulary work? GPTZero regularly scans millions of AI texts and compares them to similarly uploaded human documents (based on subject matter, length, etc.) We identify clear, unusual patterns in phrases that are used by AI at least 2-3x more than by humans (the words on our top 50 list are used from 10x to 200x+ more). ### If I change the AI Vocabulary words in my text, will it affect my AI score? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. Our AI Vocabulary tool is NOT tied to our AI probability score; you could have written an entire text yourself and be scored as human, but still include phrases that AI will use that you may want to change to develop a more original voice.
