> Copyleaks is an AI-based text analysis company that began selling plagiarism-detection tools to businesses and schools long before ChatGPT's arrival.

This is an advertorial from yet another garbage company that just says all text is plagiarized.

These systems are ruining students, delaying their academic journey or straight up causing losses of scholarships, have very high sensitivity because they sell on the promise of detection, and are blindly trusted by design because they go by feeling instead of providing sources for their claims (there are better ones that do, but are often misused as end result providers instead of as a basis to start a research)

Funny how on the other side of the tools you find professor use ai while ostracizing ai, and refuse to define a due process for these tools usage while claiming that student are lacking integrity.

I asked kids who attend my former school a pretty highly reputed one about what the policy for AI stuff was and they said that kids are being expelled for using ChatGPT and the criteria are these AI fake detectors. I would sue the school.

Indeed all text exists if you make the samples small enough. Any sentence you can find somewhere, two sentences less, etc.

Their detection system is AI, so it might be hallucinating as well?
