Despite the fact that Google and other search engines do not punish AI content on its own, pieces that aren’t helpful or uniquely written won’t rank as well. As such, it is important to create and implement a process for promoting original submissions from the outset of your application or scholarship program. This may include requiring sign-off from an advisor on applications or submissions, including a multi-stage review process, or creating contracts that are automatically scored based on criteria in your Good Grants platform.
While there are a variety of tools to detect AI writing, it’s also best to first use your gut instinct and initial reaction to the piece. One of the most telltale signs is repeated words or phrases, as AI models are designed to be as efficient as possible. Additionally, AI writing often lacks the emotion or personality that makes human writing unique.
Another important thing to look for is grammatical analysis, as AI writing tends to be more uniform in phrasing and sentence structure, while human writing typically has more creative language choices and varied N-grams. Finally, semantic analysis will help identify metaphors, connotations, and cultural references that AI writing may miss or misinterpret.
Ultimately, no AI detection tool is 100% accurate and it’s important to always check for yourself, especially when reviewing YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) content. However, using these tools as a single quality check can help prevent fraudulent AI content from getting through your review process and ensure that you’re reviewing only the highest quality and most valuable submissions.
In the world of content marketing, it’s common practice to employ AI writing to increase content production efficiency and deliver more value to readers. However, this isn’t always a good thing if your readers are not aware that the content they are reading is not written by humans. This can cause confusion, misinformation, and even harm the reputation of your brand.
Detecting AI content is difficult, but there are some clear signs to look out for. One of the most common indicators is a lack of emotion or personality in the text. This is because AI writing strives to be as efficient as possible and replicate human writing as closely as possible, so it may omit emotional words or phrases that are integral to natural language expression. Another telltale sign is repetition of certain phrases or sentence structure. AI writing tends to be very formulaic, while human writing is more varied and shows greater awareness of grammatical rules and structure.
While there are several tools available to help you spot AI content, it’s important to note that no technology is infallible. For this reason, it’s a good idea to incorporate an AI content detection tool as a single quality check in your application review process. A great way to do this is by creating a submission round that includes a question asking applicants to confirm they have written their own submission. Good Grants makes it easy to do this with the ability to add questions and a quality check form directly in your submission process.
