What users say
Pros
- Idiosyncratic phrasing and distinctive pre-AI stylistic habits reliably score as fully human.
- Caught text that ZeroGPT and QuillBot both scored at 0% AI, and that many humanizer tools failed to disguise.
Cons
- Scores can swing between runs and on short or partial texts.
- AI text written in an unusual style or lightly edited can pass as human.
- Checking long documents or many posts gets costly once the free scans run out.
