Is ZeroGPT good at detecting AI?
Is ZeroGPT good at detecting AI, or is it just the free checker everyone pastes text into first? I got curious because I have been playing with small text classifiers for fun, and the accuracy number on the ZeroGPT home page looks too clean to me.

DigiCruncher, "Is ZeroGPT good at detecting AI?", https://digicruncher.com/topic/is-zerogpt-good-at-detecting-ai/, accessed 2026-11-01.Here is what I did. I took four things I wrote myself years ago (a README, a forum post, a short blog entry and a cover letter) and three paragraphs that I had a chatbot draft for me. ZeroGPT flagged one of my own old pieces fairly hard and scored one of the chatbot paragraphs as mostly human. Three samples is not a study, and I know that, but it was enough to make me wonder what the score actually measures.
So, for people who have used it more than I have: is ZeroGPT good at detecting AI in any sense you would rely on? What would you use it for, and what would you never use it for?
Write something first.
Give people something to work with: at least 30 words on what happened and what you tried.
That is too long. Keep it under 6,000 characters.
Write the question as the title, 15 to 140 characters, no links.
Pick a category.
Add a name (2 to 40 characters, no links).
