What Is Phrasly.ai?
Phrasly.ai is an AI humanizer. It's built to humanize AI writing and bypass AI detectors. Ideally, when ChatGPT or other AI tools for content writing generate text, and Phrasly AI rephrases it, it should pass as human-like content. Phrasly AI has other use cases besides the humanization of AI-generated text. These include:
Generating AI text from its Content Generator.
Flagging AI-written content through its Content Detector.
In this article, our focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of Phrasly AI at humanizing content, escaping AI detection and passing plagiarism checkers.
Does Phrasly Bypass AI Detectors?
Humanized text may have a human touch but it doesn't necessarily bypass AI detection tools. However, Phrasly.ai claims that its outputs are undetectable by AI detectors such as:
Content at Scale
GPT Zero
ZeroGPT
OpenAI
Copyleaks
Turnitin
If Phrasly.ai can really make ChatGPT-written text undetectable, then the text that it generates should bypass these AI detectors. Interestingly, Phrasly.ai doesn't claim to bypass Originality.ai and some more stringent AI detectors like Quillbot. Yes, Quillbot is actually much harder to bypass than popular AI content detectors like Turnitin.
In a study on the best undetectable AI tools, we found that 7 out of 8 of these AI tools could bypass Turnitin, but only a few bypassed Quillbot. We're doing a complete evaluation of Phrasly.ai, so we'll be testing it with 10 AI detector tools, which are:
Content at Scale
GPT Zero
ZeroGPT
Originality.ai
Copyleaks
Turnitin
Winston AI
Scribbr
Quillbot
Crossplag
For our experiment, we used the free plan of Phrasly.ai, which allowed us to humanize 300 words. As a side note, Phrasly.ai’s interface is user-friendly. When you log in to your account, you can instantly see a summary of how much work you've done with Phrasly and how much time you've saved. Although some of the data reported is exaggerated, the report could encourage you to continue using Phrasly.
For example, the AI-powered content engine told us that we had saved one hour by humanizing 300 words using Phrasly. This was partially true because we wouldn't spend up to an hour manually humanizing 300 words. That aside, we were there to see if Phrasly’s writing style could match that of human writing. So, we inputted some ChatGPT-generated content into Phrasly.ai.
Here's a screenshot of the ChatGPT-written text.
After pasting the content in the input window in Phrasly.ai, we selected the aggressive humanization strength. Phrasly.ai has three humanization strengths: easy, medium, and aggressive. Anything that Phrasly rewrites in the aggressive mode will bypass any AI content detector. The easy strength is suitable for bloggers and content creators who need clear and easy-to-understand writing but still want to bypass AI detectors. The medium strength guarantees “human-like writing” and “top-notch quality.” Here’s a screenshot of the humanized text:
After generating the output, Phrasly.ai mentioned that the humanized text would bypass these AI content detectors:
Content at Scale
GPT Zero
ZeroGPT
OpenAI
Copyleaks
Turnitin
Curious about whether or not these predictions were true? Keep reading.
Content at Scale
Phrasly.ai bypassed Content at Scale.
From the screenshot above, we can see that Content at Scale reported that Phrasly.ai’s content “passes as human!”
GPTZero
You remember that Phrasly.ai claimed that the output could bypass GPTZero, yes? Our tests led to us discovering that this claim was false.
In the screenshot above, GPT Zero assigns a low human score of 41% to the AI text that Phrasly.ai produced.
ZeroGPT
Like it did with Content at Scale and GPTZero, Phrasly.ai predicted that the content it wrote would bypass ZeroGPT.
But as the screenshot above suggests, ZeroGPT predicted that there was a 58.7% likelihood that the text was generated by an AI or a GPT.
Originality.ai
We scanned Phrasly.ai’s text using two of Originality.ai’s AI detection models: Standard 2.0 and Turbo 3.0. When we scanned the text that Phrasly.ai wrote using the Standard 2.0 model, Originality.ai couldn't detect that the text was AI-generated.
When scanned with the Turbo 3.0 model, the text humanized with Phrasly.ai couldn't bypass AI detection.
Originality.ai predicted that there was a 98% probability that the content was AI-generated.
Copyleaks
Phrasly.ai claimed that it could beat Copyleaks. This screenshot proves this assertion is true.
Copyleaks concluded without any doubts that the text written by Phrasly.ai was human-written.
Turnitin
We’ve previously tested Phrasly.ai to see if it could beat Turnitin. For this test, we generated the following text using ChatGPT.
Then, we humanized the text using Phrasly.ai. Here's a screenshot of the output.
After humanizing the text, we scanned it with Turnitin's AI detector.
Phrasly.ai failed to bypass Turnitin. The AI detector guessed that 100% of the content produced by Phrasly.ai was AI-generated.
Winston AI
To be fair, Phrasly.ai didn't say anything about whether or not it could bypass Winston AI. Their silence on this matter didn't make us any less curious about it. So, we scanned the Phrasly.ai output with Winston AI. Here's what we found.
Winston AI was quick to predict that there was a 100% chance that Phrasly.ai’s work was AI-generated.
Scribbr
What about Scribbr? Phrasly.ai didn't claim to be capable of bypassing it either. Nevertheless, we pasted the Phrasly-generated output in Scribbr’s AI detector tool.
Scribbr predicted that there was an 89% chance that the text was generated by AI. Phrasly couldn't bypass Scribbr.
Quillbot
We figured that it wouldn't be a bad idea to find out if Phrasly.ai could beat Quillbot.
The screenshot above shows Quillbot's opinion about the text that Phrasly.ai humanized. The AI detector predicted that there was an 82% probability that the content was AI-generated.
Crossplag
The last AI content detector against which we pitched Phrasly.ai was Crossplag.
The Crossplag AI content index of the text generated by Phrasly.ai shows that Crossplag believed that there was a 0% chance that Phrasly.ai’s content was AI-generated.
Is Phrasly.ai Effective for Paraphrasing Without Getting Caught by Plagiarism Checkers?
Originality helps to preserve the academic integrity of authors. Original content also complements a brand's SEO efforts. Positive Phrasly AI reviews on Trustpilot and Reddit have suggested that one of the key features of the artificial intelligence tool is that it generates original content. The reviewers loved using Phrasly.ai for content generation because of how it bypassed plagiarism checkers, among other reasons. We were interested in verifying the authenticity of these glowing reviews, so we pasted Phrasly.ai’s text into Grammarly's plagiarism checker. Here's the screenshot of Grammarly's evaluation of the text.
Grammarly reported that the content that Phrasly.ai wrote was plagiarism-free.
Is Phrasly.ai’s Content Easy to Read?
The functionality or practicality of AI for usage in content creation is affected by how readable its content is. While AI writing—meaning content generated by AI writing tools—tends to be fairly easy to read, text produced by undetectable AI tools is more focused on bypassing AI detection than on readability. Some users of Phrasly.ai have reported that after paraphrasing AI-generated content, Phrasly.ai made it hard to read. We experienced a similar issue when testing Phrasly.ai. See this paragraph that Phrasly wrote, for example.
The AI tool mentioned phrases like “epizeuxis,” “litotes,” and “asydenton.” Most people who're proficient in English may not be familiar with these phrases.
Also, in the beginning part of the humanized text, Phrasly.ai mentioned the phrase “diagnostic reserve.”
A quick Google search reveals that “diagnostic reserve” doesn't have anything to do with the topic of the output.
What's a Good Alternative to Phrasly.ai?
Since it's clear that Phrasly.ai has its limitations that drastically reduce its functionality, you may be thinking of what to use instead of Phrasly.ai. A good alternative to Phrasly.ai is StealthGPT. Like Phrasly, StealthGPT employs natural language processing (NLP algorithms) to adjust the vocabulary, syntax, and grammar of AI-generated content.
However, StealthGPT is much better than Phrasly.ai at bypassing AI detection. StealthGPT has been proven to bypass all AI detectors, from the most aggressive to the least aggressive. In an experiment involving 5 undetectable AI tools and 8 AI detectors, we found that StealthGPT was the only undetectable AI service that bypassed all 8 AI detectors. Also, everything that StealthGPT humanizes makes perfect sense. Here's a screenshot of a short ChatGPT-generated passage humanized with StealthGPT.
The raw AI text is in the input panel while StealthGPT's humanized version of the text is in the output panel.
Conclusion
In this Phrasly AI review, we've examined whether or not it works. We assessed the undetectability, readability, and originality of its content. While Phrasly.ai passed the plagiarism detection test, it could bypass just three out of 10 AI detectors and its content was difficult to read. If you're looking for a great alternative to Phrasly AI, try StealthGPT for free. No credit card or commitment is required. Simply input your text and see what the AI humanizer can do. If you like it, you can sign up for a month or a year of beautifully humanized content and stellar AI content generation.
