Will An AI Paraphraser Make ChatGPT Undetectable?

Generative AI models like ChatGPT opened up a whole world of opportunity to use AI writing for any task requiring text. Everyone then expected that students would then use AI-generated content for academic writing. Perhaps what people didn't expect is reportedly half of American students using AI for schoolwork.

Academia’s response to this phenomenon was to integrate AI detectors like Turnitin into their student submission portals so that everything they submit passes through a plagiarism checker.

ChatGPT will almost always fail to bypass Turnitin, so people look at different AI writing tools such as AI paraphrasers or Stealth AI to bypass detection systems. You might be asking yourself though, do AI paraphrasers work?

What Is An AI Paraphraser?

An AI Paraphraser takes AI-generated text and simply rewords and rephrases it. It gives you snappier synonyms and injects a little style, maybe simplifies for clarity. The two major AI paraphrasing tools that do this are Grammarly and Quillbot.

Here's the rub though, the paraphrasers do change the text around, but they don’t neccesarily remove the watermarks of AI writing. And because those watermarks are still present, they can just as easily fail AI detection as if you were to use ChatGPT.

What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is the most popular and commonly used AI content detector. It’s detection system isn’t just an AI checker, it’s a plagiarism checker as well. Turnitin AI Detection takes every measure to ensure the text you submit are your own words.

Still, even Turnitin will give false positives at a 4% rate on the sentence-level. It also commonly lets AI writing bypass as human writing. Many academic institutions have settled on the notion that AI detectors don’t work, but for most, they have no other option.

How Does Turnitin Detection Work?

ChatGPT's content is always written with the same algorithm that generates the simplest, most precise text in terms of word choice, sentence length, and sentence structure. The readability of the content is low and often doesn’t include the proper citation, even making up references at times.

Turnitin Detection works by analyzing the text to find the watermarks of AI writing. Those watermarks are measured as perplexity and burstiness, or in other words, the simplicity of words and sentences.

How to Bypass Turnitin AI Detection

In order to bypass Turnitin or any AI detection tool, You have to manipulate the watermarks of AI writing. An AI paraphraser doesn’t neccesarily do that, but it inadvertently might in rephrasing the text. One should assume at least, that the text feels more human than the original ChatGPT output.

Here’s an essay I just asked ChatGPT to write about Adam Sandler movies:

As you can see, the writing style features low perplexity and readability coupled with precise word choice and sentences.

Can Turnitin Detect Grammarly?

The Grammarly treatment allows me to take many suggestions with what to do with the text from rewording a few sentences to generating an entirely rephrased essay.

So, here's what ChatGPT's essay looks like are taking Grammarly’s suggestions to rephrase it completely:

Grammarly's suggested revision is in the text box that appears on the right. That's what we're going to pass through Turnitin to determine if AI paraphrasing is a good way to bypass AI detection tools.

Below we demonstrate what happens when our new AI Paraphraserized essay is passed through Turnitin:

Turnitin determined Grammarly’s rephrased Adam Sandler essay was still 95% AI Generated. So, one can conclude that yes, Turnitin can detect Grammarly.

Whether you pass it through a detector or read the text yourself, you will Grammarly couldn't remove the watermarks of AI writing. Paraphrased content isn’t humanized content. You can’t paraphrase AI text and expect it to bypass AI content detection.

The only way to submit AI-written content and have it bypass any detector from Originality.AI, to GPTZero, and of course, Turnitin AI detector, is using an AI humanizer to make the text undetectable.

Can Undetectable AI Bypass Turnitin?

Undetectable AI is the how you would categorize text that has run through an undetectable service. However, because so many of these services are still caught by Turnitin’s radar, either because they’re outdated or never worked in the first place, the only way to make your text truly undetectable is going one level higher with Stealth AI.

Using StealthGPT’s Stealth AI system, we’re going to humanize our original Adam Sandler essay and see if it fares better against Turnitin than Grammarly.

Here’s how that essay looks passed through Stealth AI:

There it is in the output panel. It reads better already. And here’s the result after we pass it through Turnitin:

As you can see, Turnitin determined the Stealth AI text was 0% AI writing. Flawless victory.

Conclusion

AI Paraphrasers are really only useful for correcting and rephrasing human writing. Any hope of bettering AI writing or making AI writing bypass Turnitin or any AI writing detection service isn't based in reality.

If you really want to bypass Turnitin and improve the writing style of a piece of AI text, you need to humanize it so it can have the perplexity and flow of human text.

The only way to do this is with an undetectable AI service and the only undetectable AI service guaranteed to deliver consistent results comes at the hands of StealthGPT’s unparralled Stealth AI.

FAQ

Can Turnitin Detect ChatGPT?

Absolutely. OpenAI created ChatGPT with writing skills for a specific purpose: Utility. Thus, the words and sentences need to always be simple and precise. ChatGPT doesn’t have the machine learning to sound human, so it always sounds like AI and Turnitin will always be able to detect it.

Is Using ChatGPT plagiarism?

ChatGPT and other generative AI models only create original content. If you were to pass a research paper written by ChatGPT through an old fashioned plagiarism detection tool, it wouldn’t determine that you stole any words without crediting the original author.

However, whether using generative AI to write your research paper undermines academic integrity is a separate issue. In many cases it does, even though so many students are using it. That’s why many universities make the distinction of calling it “AI plagiarism”. You can read all about the ethics of AI in academia on our blog.
