AI detectors are applications (IT programs) that can scan the text and know if it has been written by an artificial intelligence such as Chatgpt, GPT-4 or other similar IA models. They analyze the text using automatic learning algorithms and the specific model, probability distributions and stylistic characteristics characteristic of the text generated by AI.

Some of the most popular AI detectors include the OPNAI IA text classifier, the Turnitin AI detection system, and the tastes of Isgen.ai. All work to help educators assess the authenticity of students' work. AI detectors work on the basis of probability scores rather than saying that their judgments are absolute, so they could be false.
