Many school districts and institutions are suggesting that their teachers and faculty NOT use AI detectors. You can google many supporting documents. Here is one that gives a good overview. Basically, they are unreliable and we risk accusing students inaccurately. Additionally, certain groups of students, like English language learners, are more likely to be “detected”. So what’s the alternative?
Check this video (and post below) for 10 ways that you can use your own skills to be a Human AI Detector.
1. Prompt…. Prompt… Prompt – try out your own assignments as prompts in AI.
2. The student response is too long
3. The writing style is different from student hand-submitted or previously submitted work:
4. Student is off topic or has used suspicious examples
5. Writing adheres to topic too perfectly
6. Writing is very generic.
7. As you use AI more and more, you will notice that it typically has a “recognizable” voice
8. The format looks like a typical AI output – use of headings, lists and bullets
a) Lots of headings (eg. Body Paragraph 1)
b) The list is exceptionally consistently formatted /well-organized
c) Lots of point form with many colons. This example has lots of colons. Additionally, if I were to copy this from ChatGPT to a document, it would identify headers with **askterisks**. If you wonder why students have suddenly started using so many asterisks in their work, it’s because they’ve been chatting with AI.
d) content suggestion brackets haven’t been removed/replaced
9. Blatant inaccuracies
10. Try these technology assistants:
a) Version history in Google Docs or in Microsoft Word
b) Draftback Extension. See overview/ Find it in the Chrome Web Store or watch end of video above.
c) Revision History Extension. See overview/ Find it in the Chrome Web Store or watch end of video above.
d) The AI tool Brisk also has an “Inspect Writing” tool that will do some of the same things. Be sure you are looking more at student workflow than attempts at guesses of how likely it was written by AI.

I’m sure I’m missing lots of great “Human AI Detector” strategies – please add them in the comments and I’ll add them to this postl
