How to Avoid Common AI-Generated Phrases in Your Writing
AI Writing Tip: Learn to spot AI’s most frequently-generated phrases. When you spot them, either erase them or change them around to appear distinct and personal. In order to help our users analyze word level and write differently from AI, we developed a formula for “phrase frequency” which takes into account the number of times a word appears in an AI-generated document, as well as the total number of words in a document. When comparing the top phrases that appear in human writing versus AI
GPTZero Partners with University of Virginia School of Education

Shifting from Fear to Curiosity — GPTZero conversation with a Catholic School Board Director
Tom D’Amico, the Director of Education at the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB), recently shared on CBC News a balanced approach OCSB is taking to integrating AI with the educational fabric. While we’ve chatted with many schools, we found D’Amico’s approach to be an especially forward-thinking one, and we were thrilled to sit down with him to discuss it. The OCSB, guided by D’Amico, takes an exploratory approach to the potential of AI, rather than a reactionary stance. D’Amico explains a phi
What to do if you detect plagiarism in your classroom?
So you detected AI in your classroom… now what? A year ago everyone was asking “Is this AI?” and we were first to market to develop an AI detection tool. Now they’re asking “What do I do next?”. If you detect AI writing in a student’s work, it’s important to default to the stance of educating and raising awareness of AI’s benefits, shortcomings and hallucinations. You are here to teach, both your curriculum but also how students will move forward through the world. So in that light, start the
