What should I know about AI content detection and our Proofreading & Editing service? – EN

Can you make my AI-generated text sound more human?

No, this is outside our service scope. We only offer academic Proofreading & Editing service of self-written texts. We understand if you would like to use AI-tools like ChatGPT to help you with your ideas. However, our services do not entail rewriting your text and making it sound more human or writing new text for you.

We can recommend our Knowledge Base that includes detailed articles about academic writing, statistics, methodology, etc. in case you are interested in additional information and tips on how to write your academic paper. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Can the Proofreading & Editing service influence my AI content detection score?

It is possible that your AI content detection score has changed after processing the changes made by your editor as part of the Proofreading & Editing service. Your AI score may increase, decrease, or stay the same after editing. However, this does not imply that AI tools were used by our editors. Our Proofreading & Editing service is performed entirely by human editors.

AI detection tools evaluate sentence structure, phrasing, and stylistic consistency. When a text is edited to improve clarity, grammar, and flow, it may display characteristics similar to those found in AI-generated writing. Because of this, even fully human-edited texts may be flagged by detection software. You can find more about how AI Detectors work in this article.

Additionally, AI detection tools vary. Each tool uses a different algorithm and scoring method, so the same text may yield different results depending on which tool is used — including the one we offer. No detector can reliably confirm whether a text was written or edited by a human.

Can you guarantee a 0% AI Content Detection score after using your Proofreading & Editing service?

While it’s unlikely that your AI Content Detection score will increase after one of our editors reviews your document, we cannot guarantee a 0% score.

AI detectors sometimes interpret natural improvements in flow, tone, and structure as signs of AI generation. Because each tool has its own criteria and sensitivity, results may vary — and a completely clean score (0%) cannot be guaranteed.

How should I understand the results of the Scribbr AI Detector?

We offer an AI detection tool to give you insight into how your text might be flagged by detection software. However, you should use it as a guideline, not a definitive assessment. False positives are common, and no tool can accurately determine human writing 100% of the time.
