I don’t know about you, but I prefer honesty to one-sided cheerleading. Which is why I appreciated the subsection in a JustDone post entitled “There Is No Way to Detect AI Writing with 100% Accuracy.”
JustDone, you’re doing it wrong(TM).
Other vendors (and people) say that telltale signs—such as em dashes—are clear and definitive indicators of AI-generated text.
JustDone is much more nuanced.
“The em dash — especially, used like this — has become one of the most reliable AI tells. ChatGPT in particular uses it at a rate that no human writer naturally matches. If almost every paragraph contains one, that frequency is itself the signal.”
Same with some of the other so-called “clear signals” of bot-speak.
In general, JustDone realizes that “100%” is a dangerous number to throw around. (As the biometric product marketing expert, I know this.)
“This is the part most detection guides skip: how to tell if something is written by AI is not a solved problem. No tool gets it right every time. No human reader gets it right every time.
“False positives happen. Formal academic writing, technical documentation, and content written by non-native English speakers all share characteristics with AI output — consistent tone, structured argumentation, and uniform vocabulary. That’s why they can be flagged incorrectly….
“False negatives happen too. Heavily edited AI content, content that has been run through a humanizer, and output from the newest model generations all pass detection at rates that make any single scan an incomplete picture.”
So don’t believe those tools that state the Declaration of Independence was AI written. Jefferson and Franklin weren’t THAT brilliant.
