best GPT chat detectors (GPT3)

The last few months have been marked by the arrival of ChatGPT with its GPT3, GPT3.5 and GPT4 language models: the conversational artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI.

The availability of ChatGPT to the general public has created a great deal of excitement in many areas, including teaching, training, research, writing, etc.

ChatGPT can generate texts in several languages: French, English, Italian, Spanish, Arabic... A question must be asked to the AI tool to generate these answers.

So how do you know if a content is authentic, written by a human?

To indicate the nature of an author, several Chat GPT detectors have been developed: they can identify whether a text is generated by an AI such as ChatGPT (GPT-3, GPT-3.5 and GPT4), YouChat... or if it is written by a human.

In this article, we identify and compare the best AI detectors for you: 

At the end of the article, you will also find the visual summary of the comparative analysis.

When should you ensure the authenticity of the content?

In this context of universal accessibility to AI tools such as ChatGPT (GPT-3, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) or YouChat; authenticity and originality of content is an issue.

For example, in the fields of education, it is important to ensure that a student's work (homework, essays, dissertations and theses) is original, with properly cited references.

If the teacher cannot ensure the originality of the students' work, he or she cannot ensure that the students have learned their lessons well.

From the student's point of view, the search for ease in writing can sometimes lead to fraudulent practices: plagiarism, ghostwriting by agencies, ghostwriting by an AI...

Behind this ease, the student misses out on the :

  • important knowledge to be acquired according to their specialisation
  • crucial skills to be developed in preparation for professional life: searching for the right sources of information, synthesising, schematising, personal reflection and writing a report.


AI tools can generate texts in abundance. ChatGPT (GPT3, GPT3.5 and GPT4), for example, finds the most likely words to continue an initiated conversation. In most cases, the most likely continuation of a text is the correct answer to the question asked. However, this is not always the case and can contribute to misinformation.

 

Top 11 AI detectors in 2023 compared

 

Focus on our comparison methodology

Early 2023, we tested several AI Detectors and ChatGPT Detectors with the aim of assessing the reliability of each tool. 

We analysed 125 English texts, ranging from 250 to 2500 characters, in the 11 AI Detectors. The texts analysed contain human-written texts, texts generated by ChatGPT and texts generated by YouChat.

The final result of our tests is a reliability rate of analysis for each AI Writing Detector, based on the same contents.

In conclusion, we would like to remind you that artificial intelligence is part of our lives and that we need to adapt to this change, to learn to work with these tools. 

In education, for example, artificial intelligence can be useful to : 

  • improve the understanding of concepts by providing clear and concise explanations with concrete examples 
  • create interactive exercises that help students learn in a fun way
  • ... 

On the other hand, it remains important for all of us to check for AI and detect ChatGPT. 

With an AI Detector, you can know whether a content (web page, academic paper, assignment, thesis) has been written by ChatGPT or by another AI, in order to ensure its originality.
