Are my Crossplag credits used when I use the AI Detector?
No, our AI Content Detector is free to use and will not cost any of the credits you have purchased for plagiarism detection in Crossplag.
What is an AI Content Detector?
An AI Detector is a tool that uses a vast datasets of information to determine whether a piece of text is genuinely human-writtten or if it’s AI-generated.
By AI-generated, we indicate every piece of content that is generated by using a chatbot.
Is the AI Content Detector biased?
In essence, all AI algorithms can be biased based on the data used to develop them. If the data is biased, so is the AI detector.
It’s highly important to make sure that the data selected to train the detector is unbiased, diverse, and fully objective.

Hi All:
I'm posting an experience I just had because it might be helpful. Here's the story:
I recently wrote a 2000+ word blog post/guide for people who are new to cryptocurrency. The client provided an outline and suggested that I use existing sources online, which I did. For these types of agency assignments, I usually just find a few sources, pull the relevant information, organize it, and write a new post. If the client asks for footnotes or sources, I provide them, but usually I just submit the post and that's that.
This morning the client told me my post had been flagged for "AI- generated" content. They provided links to crossplag and another detector, both of which flagged the content as 90% unoriginal.
I don't go anywhere near AI (yet) so I politely protested. I agreed to revise the article as long as I could see the specific text that had been flagged.
TL/DR: I had to sign up for a crossplag account, speak to support, and use a few different plagiarism detectors to verify that the crossplag AI detector returns false positives. During the support chat, the tech sent me this:
"Thank you. Our AI Content Detector is very early in development and it is not to be relied upon. It still needs work, we state it there. We appreciate your feedback and will do our best to fix them in due time"
The thing is, this app is already out there in the wild, and people are using it inappropriately and unconsciously. Dealing with it cost me time and money, not to mention that it has great potential to erode trust between writer and client.
Has anyone else encountered this issue of false positives from AI detectors? I'm trying to think of short, simple ways to mitigate this type of situation when it happens again.
