What do teachers use to detect AI?

Teachers use a combination of strategies and tools to detect AI writing.

One method teachers use to detect AI is manual review. They look at grammar, style, tone of voice, and the overall ideas to determine whether the writing aligns with the student’s expected ability or voice. Sudden shifts in voice, overly polished language, or responses that don’t fully address the assignment can sometimes raise questions about AI use.

Teachers may also rely on AI detection tools to support their evaluation. QuillBot’s free AI Detector is one of the tools that can help teachers quickly analyze text and receive an instant assessment.

In contexts where the use of AI outputs is permitted, AI Humanizer tools can help humanize AI outputs and make the writing seem more natural and fluent.
