I hadn't come across GPTZero before and wondered if it worked. Just testing on a sample of my blog posts (I do one each year) I got a 100% AI generated mark for a post in... 2022, and 2023. Both before AI tools were around.

Not to say this post isn't AI generated but you might want a better tool (if one exists)

Yeah, it's got a real issue with false positives. And I've tried a bunch of other tools (Sapling, ZeroGPT, a few others) and actually GPTZero was the best of the bunch. The others would miss obviously AI generated content that I'd just generated to test them.

I've had a blog post kicking around about this for a while, it's CRAZY how much more expensive AI detection is than AI generation.

In my mind content generated today with AI "tells" like the above and a general zero-calorie-feel that also trip an AI detector are very likely AI generated.

Hmm I'm curious which blog post tripped it? I tried a few from your site in 2023 and none of them were flagged as AI generated.
