GPT Essay Checker for Students

How to Interpret the Result of AI Detection

To use our GPT checker, you won’t need to do any preparation work!

Take the 3 steps:

  • Copy and paste the text you want to be analyzed,
  • Click the button,
  • Follow the prompts to interpret the result.

Our AI detector doesn’t give a definitive answer. It’s only a free beta test that will be improved later. For now, it provides a preliminary conclusion and analyzes the provided text, implementing the color-coding system that you can see above the analysis.

It is you who decides whether the text is written by a human or AI:

  • Your text was likely generated by an AI if it is mostly red with some orange words. This means that the word choice of the whole document is nowhere near unique or unpredictable.
  • Your text looks unique and human-made if our GPT essay checker adds plenty of orange, green, and blue to the color palette.

  • 🕵 How do GPT checkers work?

Chat GPT in Essay Writing – the Shortcomings

  • The tool doesn’t know anything about what happened after 2021. Novel history is not its strong side. Sometimes it needs to be corrected about earlier events. For instance, request information about Heathrow Terminal 1 . The program will tell you it is functioning, although it has been closed since 2015.
  • The reliability of answers is questionable. AI takes information from the web which abounds in fake news, bias, and conspiracy theories.
  • References also need to be checked. The links that the tool generates are sometimes incorrect, and sometimes even fake.
  • Two AI generated essays on the same topic can be very similar. Although a plagiarism checker will likely consider the texts original, your teacher will easily see the same structure and arguments.
  • Chat GPT essay detectors are being actively developed now. Traditional plagiarism checkers are not good at finding texts made by ChatGPT. But this does not mean that an AI-generated piece cannot be detected at all.

🕵 How Do GPT Checkers Work?

An AI-generated text is too predictable. Its creation is based on the word frequency in each particular case.

Thus, its strong side (being life-like) makes it easily discernible for ChatGPT detectors.

Once again, conventional anti-plagiarism essay checkers won’t work there merely because this writing features originality. Meanwhile, it will be too similar to hundreds of other texts covering the same topic.

Here’s an everyday example. Two people give birth to a baby. When kids become adults, they are very much like their parents. But can we tell this particular human is a child of the other two humans? No, if we cannot make a genetic test. This GPT essay checker is a paternity test for written content.

General FAQs about our AI Detector

Everything you need to know about GPTZero and our chat gpt detector. Can’t find an answer? You can talk to our customer service team .

What is GPTZero?

GPTZero is the leading AI detector for checking whether a document was written by a large language model such as ChatGPT. GPTZero detects AI on sentence, paragraph, and document level. Our model was trained on a large, diverse corpus of human-written and AI-generated text, with a focus on English prose. To date, GPTZero has served over 2.5 million users around the world, and works with over 100 organizations in education, hiring, publishing, legal, and more.

How do I use GPTZero?

Simply paste in the text you want to check, or upload your file, and we'll return an overall detection for your document, as well as sentence-by-sentence highlighting of sentences where we've detected AI. Unlike other detectors, we help you interpret the results with a description of the result, instead of just returning a number.

To get the power of our AI detector for larger texts, or a batch of files, sign up for a free account on our  Dashboard .

If you want to run the AI detector as your browse, you can download our  Chrome Extension, Origin , which allows you to scan the entire page in one click.

When should I use GPTZero?

Our users have seen the use of AI-generated text proliferate into education, certification, hiring and recruitment, social writing platforms, disinformation, and beyond. We've created GPTZero as a tool to highlight the possible use of AI in writing text. In particular, we focus on classifying AI use in prose.

Overall, our classifier is intended to be used to flag situations in which a conversation can be started (for example, between educators and students) to drive further inquiry and spread awareness of the risks of using AI in written work.

Does GPTZero only detect ChatGPT outputs?

No, GPTZero works robustly across a range of AI language models, including but not limited to ChatGPT, GPT-4, GPT-3, GPT-2, LLaMA, and AI services based on those models.

Why GPTZero over other detection models?

  • GPTZero is the most accurate AI detector across use-cases, verified by multiple independent sources, including TechCrunch, which called us the best and most reliable AI detector after testing seven others.
  • GPTZero builds and constantly improves our own technology. In our competitor analysis, we found that not only does GPTZero perform better, some competitor services are actually just forwarding the outputs of free, open-source models without additional training.
  • In contrast to many other models, GPTZero is finetuned for student writing and academic prose. By doing so, we've seen large improvements in accuracies for this use-case.

What are the limitations of the classifier?

The nature of AI-generated content is changing constantly. As such, these results should not be used to punish students. We recommend educators to use our behind-the-scene Writing Reports as part of a holistic assessment of student work. There always exist edge cases with both instances where AI is classified as human, and human is classified as AI. Instead, we recommend educators take approaches that give students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding in a controlled environment and craft assignments that cannot be solved with AI .

The accuracy of our model increases as more text is submitted to the model. As such, the accuracy of the model on the document-level classification will be greater than the accuracy on the paragraph-level, which is greater than the accuracy on the sentence level.

The accuracy of our model also increases for text similar in nature to our dataset. While we train on a highly diverse set of human and AI-generated text, the majority of our dataset is in English prose, written by adults.

Our classifier is not trained to identify AI-generated text after it has been heavily modified after generation (although we estimate this is a minority of the uses for AI-generation at the moment).

Currently, our classifier can sometimes flag other machine-generated or highly procedural text as AI-generated, and as such, should be used on more descriptive portions of text.

What can I do as an educator to reduce the risk of AI misuse?

  • Help students understand the risks of using AI in their work (to learn more, see this article ), and value of learning to express themselves. For example, in real-life, real-time collaboration, pitching, and debate, how does your class improve their ability to communicate when AI is not available?
  • Ask students to write about personal experiences and how they relate to the text, or reflect on their learning experience in your class.
  • Ask students to critique the default answer given by Chat GPT to your question.
  • Require that students cite real, primary sources of information to back up their specific claims, or ask them to write about recent events.
  • Assess students based on a live discussion with their peers, and use peer assessment tools (such as the one provided by our partner, Peerceptiv ).
  • Ask students to complete their assignments in class or in an interactive way, and shift lectures to be take-home.
  • Ask students to produce multiple drafts of their work that they can revise as peers or through the educator, to help students understand that assignments are meant to teach a learning process.
  • Ask students to produce work in a medium that is difficult to generate, such as powerpoint presentations, visual displays, videos, or audio recordings.
  • Set expectations for your students that you will be checking the work through an AI detector like GPTZero, to deter misuse of AI.

I'm an educator who has found AI-generated text by my students. What do I do?

Firstly, at GPTZero, we don't believe that any AI detector is perfect. There always exist edge cases with both instances where AI is classified as human, and human is classified as AI. Nonetheless, we recommend that educators can do the following when they get a positive detection:

  • Ask students to demonstrate their understanding in a controlled environment, whether that is through an in-person assessment, or through an editor that can track their edit history (for instance, using our Writing Reports through Google Docs). Check out our list of several recommendations on types of assignments that are difficult to solve with AI.
  • Ask the student if they can produce artifacts of their writing process, whether it is drafts, revision histories, or brainstorming notes. For example, if the editor they used to write the text has an edit history (such as Google Docs), and it was typed out with several edits over a reasonable period of time, it is likely the student work is authentic. You can use GPTZero's Writing Reports to replay the student's writing process, and view signals that indicate the authenticity of the work.
  • See if there is a history of AI-generated text in the student's work. We recommend looking for a long-term pattern of AI use, as opposed to a single instance, in order to determine whether the student is using AI.

What data did you train your model on?

Our model is trained on millions of documents spanning various domains of writing including creating writing, scientific writing, blogs, news articles, and more. We test our models on a never-before-seen set of human and AI articles from a section of our large-scale dataset, in addition to a smaller set of challenging articles that are outside its training distribution.

How do I use and interpret the results from your API?

To see the full schema and try examples yourself, check out our  API documentation.

Our API returns a document_classification field which indicates the most likely classification of the document. The possible values are HUMAN_ONLY , MIXED , and AI_ONLY . We also provide a probability for each classification, which is returned in the class_probabilities field. The keys for this field are human , ai or mixed . To get the probability for the most likely classification, the predicted_class field can be used. The class probability corresponding to the predicted class can be interpreted as the chance that the detector is correct in its classification. I.e. 90% means that 90% of the time on similar documents our detector is correct in the prediction it makes. Lastly, each prediction comes with a confidence_category field, which can be high , medium , or low . Confidence categories are tuned such that when the confidence_category field is high 99.1% of human articles are classified as human, and 98.4% of AI articles are classified as AI.

Additionally, we highlight sentences that been detected to be written by AI. API users can access this highlighting through the highlight_sentence_for_ai field. The sentence-level classification should not be solely used to indicate that an essay contains AI (such as ChatGPT plagiarism). Rather, when a document gets a MIXED or AI_ONLY classification, the highlighted sentence will indicate where in the document we believe this occurred.

Are you storing data from API calls?

No. We do not store or collect the documents passed into any calls to our API. We wanted to be overly cautious on the side of storing data from any organizations using our API. However, we do store inputs from calls made from our dashboard. This data is only used in aggregate by GPTZero to further improve the service for our users. You can refer to our privacy policy for more details.

Chat GPT Detector for Essays

Understanding the results.

Once you click “Check the text,” you will see a bar chart and a detailed analysis of the text.

The bar chart displays the proportions of words in the text based on how likely an AI generator would use them in a similar context:

  • The red column shows the percentage of words an AI generator would most probably use to write a text on your topic.
  • The orange column shows the proportion of words that a GPT generator would sometimes use.
  • The green column displays the percentage of words that an AI tool would rarely use while generating a similar text.
  • The violet column displays the share of the least predictable words that a GPT writer would almost never use.

Under the bar chart, you will find a detailed analysis of the text. All words will be colored according to the categories they belong to. By clicking on each word, you’ll be able to see its probability of being used by a chatbot, as well as the top-5 most likely alternatives.

An AI-generated text will be colored mostly red and orange. In contrast, a paper written by a human will contain green and violet words.

🤖 Chat GPT Detectors: Why Are They So Important?

Chat GPT, created by OpenAI , has been a pain in the neck for teachers since its creation.

The picture contains an explanation of what ChatGPT is.

The tool is what our parents considered science fiction. It generates custom-made answers to specific questions and can take your prompts into account.

An unprecedented threat is looming over the conventional system of education in general and independent writing assignments in particular. How can we assess and develop students’ problem-solving and critical thinking?

Chat GPT can find and compile facts, use various pre-set writing styles, and produce convincing, logical arguments. To make it even better (and worse!), it has impeccable grammar, although users can choose to add grammatical errors for credibility. Last but not least, for now AI essay detection is problematic, because traditional plagiarism detectors fail to identify Chat GPT generated papers correctly.

The first decision came: NYC blocked Chat GPT on campuses , and other education departments will soon follow them. But no one can control non-educational Internet networks and devices.

We are standing on the verge of the “Big Bang” in our perception of education methodology. Here’s what can happen:

  • Most likely, educators will have to move away from formulaic writing with strict rubrics.
  • Colleges won’t dedicate as much time to theoretical knowledge and give more ways to practice.
  • Students will be encouraged to explore information worth knowing.
  • Specific homework assignments will become outdated.
  • Creativity will become more critical than knowledge.
  • All schools will use ChatGPT essay detectors like they used plagiarism detectors in the era of Google.

❌ Chat GPT Essay Writing: Limitations and Ethical Issues

ChatGPT is impressive but not flawless. As of the moment, it has such limitations.

The picture lists ChatGPT limitations.

Chat GPT Essay Writing Limitations

  • Don’t expect it to answer questions about what happened after 2021 . For example, it doesn’t know much about Biden’s presidency, Omicron, the Russian invasion of Ukraine , or the death of Queen Elizabeth II. That's why you shouldn’t ask GPT-3 to write an essay on, let’s say, Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  • ChatGPT isn’t able to keep up with the latest events . Training the tool on this information takes time. Perhaps, software engineers will eventually solve this issue.
  • It can generate incorrect texts if it gets the question wrong. You took it right. It is a human-like intelligence, and mutual misunderstanding is in our veins. But paraphrasing the query can improve the result.
  • Adding too many parameters, getting niche, or asking tricky questions overwhelms the program . It will give inappropriate answers or ignore parts of your request.
  • It can use offensive language like all of us in some cases.

AI Essay Writing: Ethical Issues

The ethical issues of AI essay writers are also explicit.

AI nominally filters out requests in writing that go against the service’s policy. That’s why you won’t be able to produce harmful content using the program. Meanwhile, merely asking it to help generate a text from a racist’s point of view is acceptable and doable.

The program takes concepts and words from a dataset containing texts from the Internet. The latter has never been a peaceful and ethical place. So, despite an astonishing understanding of moral issues the AI has demonstrated, it can use human biases and stereotypes, purposefully or not. It can neither differentiate fake news nor conspiracy theories.

In this aspect, developers have a long way to go.

🔎 AI Essay Detector: Does it Work?

AI detection is hardly possible for the human eye. The only difference is that computer-generated texts stick to the most likely word. Meanwhile, people often choose unpredictable words that still make sense to a knowledgeable audience.

But one cannot fool a computer. This AI detector for essays shows how likely a text has been machine-generated or written by a human. Once again, the more predictable the choice of words, the more artificial it looks.

❓ AI Essay Detector FAQ

❓ what content types can i generate using ai.

AI can generate literally any content except for harmful and offensive statements. Still, its truthfulness is questionable. AI cannot tell fake news from real ones and conspiracy theories from reality. Neither can it filter out the bias that prevails on the internet.

❓ How To Generate Content Using AI?

If you would like to generate content using AI, use ChatGPT. It can create anything from an essay to answers to complicated moral dilemmas. Enter your query into the indicated field, and press the respective button to see the result. If it does not meet your expectations, modify the question.

❓ How To Detect AI Generated Content?

You cannot detect AI-generated content without dedicated software. I.e., our brain sees no difference between human-made and artificial texts. This AI detection tool will help you determine whether the text was written by hand or by code. Just copy the text into the program and check the result.

❓ How Does a Chat GPT Essay Detector Work?

A ChatGPT detector works similarly to AI text generators. It analyses the predictability of each word in a sentence. If the selection is highly predictable, AI has created the text. The more terms are used in unusual places, the more life-like the text is.

Frequently Asked Questions

When a Language Model writes a sentence, it probes all of its pre-training data to output a statistically generated sentence, which is simply not how a human writes. It becomes apparent when analyzed against a vast corpus of human writing.

We can recognize AI text patterns utilizing multiple techniques.

Since 2015, we’ve collected, ingested, and analyzed trillions of crawled and user-sourced content pages from thousands of universities and enterprises worldwide to train our models to understand how humans write as opposed to AI.

Also, utilizing AI technology, our AI detector can accurately recognize the presence of other AI-generated text and the signals it leaves behind, adding an additional layer of accuracy.

There are several significant differences between other AI detector tools and ours.

For example:

• Credible data at scale, coupled with machine learning and widespread adoption, allows us to continually refine and improve our ability to understand complex text patterns, resulting in over 99% accuracy—higher than any other AI detector—and improving daily.

•As an enterprise-based platform, we’re the only solution with seamless API and LMS integrations, allowing you to bring the power of AI Detector directly to your native platform and at scale.

• The AI Detector is the only platform to read source code, including AI-generated. Furthermore, it can detect source code at the function level, helping identify when code has been plagiarized or modified, even if certain variables have been altered or entire portions have been changed

• Our AI Detector does not flag Grammarly’s non-AI features, which include spell check and grammar, as AI. Another AI Detector, in their own analysis, flagged 20% of Grammarly’s non-AI features as AI content, an astounding 20% false positive rate. Read the full analysis .

• Our AI Detector, along with all of Copyleaks’ products, are fully GDPR-compliant and SOC 2 and SOC 3-certified, a global standard audited by KPMG, the leading auditing organization for certification, ensuring the privacy and protection of personal data.

The chance for content written by a human to be falsely labeled as AI-generated content is 0.2%, the lowest of any AI detector available. Nevertheless, we strive to inspire authenticity and digital trust by creating secure environments to share ideas and learn confidently, and that comes with the responsibility to ensure complete accuracy, particularly around false accusations. To address this, we have taken several precautions, including:

  • Our detection and the algorithms that power it are designed for detecting human-generated text versus AI-generated text. Detecting AI text tends to give a lower accuracy and increases the likelihood of false positives.
  • To help accelerate our learning and refine the models used, we implemented a feedback loop where users can rate the accuracy of the results, which allows us to continually use examples of false positives, rare as they may be, to improve.
  • We only introduce new model detection after thorough testing. Once our internal testing reaches a high confidence threshold, we leverage beta testers, giving an additional layer of assurance.

Yes. In July 2023, four researchers from across the globe published a study on the Cornell Tech-owned arXiv, declaring Copyleaks AI Detector the most accurate for checking and detecting Large Language Models (LLM) generated text. Since then, additional independent third-party studies have been released, each one highlighting the accuracy and efficiency of the AI Detector.

Ditch the cookbooks, i use chatgpt as my personal recipe guru, i took google's new ai music tool for a spin, here's how it went, quick links, how to tell if chatgpt wrote that article, can you use ai to detect ai-generated text, tools to check if an article was written by chatgpt, train your brain to catch ai, key takeaways.

You can tell a ChatGPT-written article by its simple, repetitive structure and its tendency to make logical and factual errors. Some tools are available for automatically detecting AI-generated text, but they are prone to false positives.

AI technology is changing what we see online and how we interact with the world. From a Midjourney photo of the Pope in a puffer coat to language learning models like ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is working its way into our lives.

The more sinister uses of AI tech, like a political disinformation campaign blasting out fake articles, mean we need to educate ourselves enough to spot the fakes. So how can you tell if an article is actually AI generated text?

Multiple methods and tools currently exist to help determine whether the article you're reading was written by a robot. Not all of them are 100% reliable, and they can deliver false positives, but they do offer a starting point.

One big marker of human-written text, at least for now, is randomness. While people will write using different styles and slang and often make typos, AI language models very rarely make those kinds of mistakes. According to MIT Technology Review , "human-written text is riddled with typos and is incredibly variable," while AI generated text models like ChatGPT are much better at creating typo-less text. Of course, a good copy editor will have the same effect, so you have to watch for more than just correct spelling.

Another indicator is punctuation patterns. Humans will use punctuation more randomly than an AI model might. AI generated text also usually contains more connector words like "the," "it," or "is" instead of larger more rarely used words because large language models operate by predicting what word will is most likely to come next, not coming up with something that would sound good the way a human might.

This is visible in ChatGPT's response to one of the stock questions on OpenAI's website. When asked, "Can you explain quantum computing in simple terms," you get sentences like: "What makes qubits special is that they can exist in multiple states at the same time, thanks to a property called superposition. It's like a qubit can be both a 0 and a 1 simultaneously. "

Chat GPT answering the question "Can you explain quantum computing in simple terms?"

Short, simple connecting words are regularly used, the sentences are all a similar length, and paragraphs all follow a similar structure. The end result is writing that sounds and feels a bit robotic.

Large language models themselves can be trained to spot AI generated writing. Training the system on two sets of text --- one written by AI and the other written by people --- can theoretically teach the model to recognize and detect AI writing like ChatGPT.

Researchers are also working on watermarking methods to detect AI articles and text. Tom Goldstein, who teaches computer science at the University of Maryland, is working on a way to build watermarks into AI language models in the hope that it can help detect machine-generated writing even if it's good enough to mimic human randomness.

Invisible to the naked eye, the watermark would be detectable by an algorithm, which would indicate it as either human or AI generated depending on how often it adhered to or broke the watermarking rules. Unfortunately, this method hasn't tested so well on later models of ChatGPT.

You can find multiple copy-and-paste tools online to help you check whether an article is AI generated. Many of them use language models to scan the text, including ChatGPT-4 itself.

Undetectable AI , for example, markets itself as a tool to make your AI writing indistinguishable from a human's. Copy and paste the text into its window and the program checks it against results from other AI detection tools like GPTZero to assign it a likelihood score --- it basically checks whether eight other AI detectors would think your text was written by a robot.

Originality is another tool, geared toward large publishers and content producers. It claims to be more accurate than others on the market and uses ChatGPT-4 to help detect text written by AI. Other popular checking tools include:

Most of these tools give you a percentage value, like 96% human and 4% AI, to determine how likely it is that the text was written by a human. If the score is 40-50% AI or higher, it's likely the piece was AI-generated.

While developers are working to make these tools better at detecting AI generated text, none of them are totally accurate and can falsely flag human content as AI generated. There's also concern that since large language models like GPT-4 are improving so quickly, detection models are constantly playing catchup.

In addition to using tools, you can train yourself to catch AI generated content. It takes practice, but over time you can get better at it.

Daphne Ippolito, a senior research scientist at Google's AI division Google Brain, made a game called Real Or Fake Text  (ROFT) that can help you separate human sentences from robotic ones by gradually training you to notice when a sentence doesn't quite look right.

One common marker of AI text, according to Ippolito, is nonsensical statements like "it takes two hours to make a cup of coffee." Ippolito's game is largely focused on helping people detect those kinds of errors. In fact, there have been multiple instances of an AI writing program stating inaccurate facts with total confidence --- you probably shouldn't ask it to do your math assignment , either, as it doesn't seem to handle numerical calculations very well.

Right now, these are the best detection methods we have to catch text written by an AI program. Language models are getting better at a speed that renders current detection methods outdated pretty quickly, however, leaving us in, as Melissa Heikkilä writes for MIT Technology Review, an arms race.

A Comprehensive Guide to Essay Grading with ChatGPT

Introduction.

The rise of large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT has opened exciting possibilities in essay grading. With its advanced natural language processing capabilities, ChatGPT offers a new dimension in assessing written work, potentially revolutionizing the grading process for educators and researchers. Let’s delve into how ChatGPT could potentially make essay grading easier, more efficient, and more accurate.

ChatGPT can analyze written content for various parameters, including content quality, argument structure, coherence, and adherence to guidelines. Whether you use a continuous scoring system (e.g., quality of writing) or a discrete one (e.g., essay positions), ChatGPT can be tailored to your specific needs, offering customized feedback for different writing styles and assignments. Literature also suggests that LLMs can significantly increase grading efficiency, alleviating some of the burden on educators (Abedi et al., 2023; Okonkwo & Ade-Ibijola, 2021; Richter et al., 2019). Imagine grading hundreds of essays and providing feedback on them – a time-consuming and tiring task. ChatGPT can automate the initial assessment, flagging essays that require further attention based on specific criteria. Additionally, ChatGPT can identify stylistic strengths and weaknesses, analyze the use of literary devices, and even point out potential inconsistencies in an argument’s logic. This could free up valuable educator time for student interaction and curriculum development.

However, caution against over-reliance on this new technology is adivsed in scenarios where biased or inaccurate models could unfairly impact individual students. It is essential to recognize both the potential advantages and limitations of LLMs. This blog post aims to delve into and reflect on ChatGPT’s capabilities for grading and classifying essays and to provide insights into the practical application of using ChatGPT in educational settings.

In this blog, we will explore:

  • Essay grading with ChatGPT and ChatGPT API
  • Steps for essay grading with ChatGPT API
  • Steps for essay classification with ChatGPT API
  • Cost & computation times

For steps 2 and 3, we will provide detailed instructions on how to access and set up the ChatGPT API, prepare and upload your text dataset, and efficiently grade or classify numerous essays. Additionally, we will compare the outcomes of human grading to those obtained through GPT grading.

## Essay Grading with ChatGPT and ChatGPT API

For a single essay, we can simply ask ChatGPT to grade as follows:

ChatGPT

For multiple essays, we could request ChatGPT to grade each one individually. However, when dealing with a large number of essays (e.g., 50, 100, 1000, etc.), manually grading them in this way becomes a laborious and time-consuming task. In such cases, we can leverage the ChatGPT API service to evaluate numerous essays at once, providing greater flexibility and efficiency. ChatGPT API is a versatile tool that enables developers to integrate ChatGPT into their own applications, services, or websites. When you use the API, you also gain more control over the interaction, such as the ability to adjust temperature, maximum tokens, and the presence of system messages.

It is important to understand the distinctions between ChatGPT’s web interface and the pretrained models accessible through the OpenAI API .

ChatGPT’s web version provides a user-friendly chat interface, requiring no coding knowledge and offering features like integrated system tools. However, it is less customizable and is not designed for managing high volumes of requests. Additionally, due to its internal short-term memory span, previous conversations can influence later responses. In contrast, the OpenAI API offers pretrained models without a built-in interface, necessitating coding experience for integration. These models excel at managing large request volumes, but lack ChatGPT’s conversational memory; they process each input independently. This fundamental difference can lead to variations in the outputs generated by ChatGPT’s web interface and the OpenAI API.

Here’s an example of grading a single essay using the ChatAPI with Python:

Interestingly, this example produces a single score rather than the sentence generated above via the ChatGPT web interface. This difference could be attributed to the ChatGPT API interpreting the prompt more directly than the ChatGPT online service, even though they both use the same pretrained model. Alternatively, the variability in ChatGPT’s results might be due to inherent randomness in its responses.

By implementing a loop with multiple texts, we can acquire scores for an entire set of essays. Let’s see how to do that.

Steps for Essay Grading with ChatGPT API

Get and set up a chatgpt api key.

We assume that you have already installed the Python OpenAI library on your system and have an active OpenAI account. Setting up and obtaining access to the ChatGPT API involves the following steps:

Obtain an OpenAI key: Vist the OpenAI API website at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys and click +Create a new secret key button. Save your key securely, as you cannot regenerate the same code due to OpenAI’s security policies.

Set ip API key: In your Python script or notebook, set up the API key using the following code, replacing “YOUR-API-KEY” with your actual API key:

Load the text dataset

In this post, we will grade a series of essays about the iPad usage in schools

4 Well I would like the idea . But then for it … AMB 4 4.0

Compare human grading scores with GPT grading scores

For these data, we happend to have scores given by human raters as well, allowing us how similar the human scores are to the scores generated by ChatGPT.

Using the code provided in the accompanying script, we get the following:

A contigency table (confusion matrix) of the scores is:

Scores_GPT 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
Scores
0 1 7 0 0 0
1 0 9 0 0 0
2 0 4 1 0 0
3 0 8 2 0 0
4 0 8 3 2 0
5 0 0 2 2 0
6 0 0 0 0 1

The averages and standard deviations of human grading and GPT grading scores are 2.54 ( SD = 1.68) and 2.34 ( SD = 0.74), respectively. The correlation between them is 0.62, indicating a fairly strong positive linear relationship. Additionally, the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is 1.36, providing a measure of the GPT’s prediction accuracy compared to the actual human grading scores.

Steps for Essay Classification with ChatGPT API

ChatGPT can be utilized not only for scoring essays but also for classifying essays based on some categorical variable such as writers’ opinions regarding iPad usage in schools. Here are the steps to guide you through the process, assuming you already have access to the ChatGPT API and have loaded your text dataset:

Classify multiple essays

Classifying 50 essays takes only 27 seconds.

We create a new column re_Stance_iPad based on the mapping of values from the existing Stance_iPad column. Except for AFF and NEG opinions, opinions on AMB, BAL, and NAR are unclear. Therefore, AMB, BAL, and NAR are combined as OTHER.

Text Stance_iPad Scores Scores_GPT re_Stance_iPad Stance_iPad_GPT
0 Some people allow Ipads because some people ne… AMB 1 2.0 OTHER OTHER
1 I have a tablet. But it is a lot of money. But… AMB 1 2.0 OTHER OTHER
2 Do you think we should get rid of the Ipad wh… AMB 1 2.0 OTHER OTHER
3 I said yes because the teacher will not be tal… AMB 2 2.0 OTHER OTHER
4 Well I would like the idea . But then for it … AMB 4 4.0 OTHER OTHER

Compare human classification with GPT classification

Stance_iPad_GPT AFF NEG OTHER
re_Stance_iPad
AFF 7 0 3
NEG 0 9 1
OTHER 3 1 26

ChatGPT achieves an accuracy of approximately 84%, demonstrating its correctness in classification. An F1 score of 0.84, reflecting the harmonic mean of precision and recall, signifies a well-balanced performance in terms of both precision and recall. Additionally, the Cohen’s Kappa value of 0.71, which measures the agreement between predicted and actual classifications while accounting for chance, indicates substantial agreement beyond what would be expected by chance alone.

Cost & Computation times

How long does it take to assess all essays.

Grading and classifying 50 essays each took 25 and 27 seconds , resulting in a rate of about 2 essays per second.

What is the cost of assessing all essays?

In this blog, we utilized GPT-3.5-turbo-0125. According to OpenAI’s pricing page , the cost for input processing is \$0.0005 per 1,000 tokens, and for output, it is \$0.0015 per 1,000 tokens, indicating that the ChatGPT API charges for both tokens sent out and tokens received.

The total expenditure for grading all essays —50 assessing essay quality and 50 for essay classification—was approximately $0.01 .

What are tokens and how to count them?

Tokens can be viewed as fragments of words. When the API receives prompts, it breaks down the input into tokens. These divisions do not always align with the beginning or end of words; tokens may include spaces and even parts of words. To grasp the concept of tokens and their length equivalencies better, here are some helpful rules of thumb:

  • 1 token ≈ 4 characters in English.
  • 1 token ≈ ¾ of a word.
  • 100 tokens ≈ 75 words.
  • 1 to 2 sentences ≈ 30 tokens.
  • 1 paragraph ≈ 100 tokens.
  • 1,500 words ≈ 2,048 tokens.

To get additional context on how tokens are counted, consider this:

The prompt at the beginning of this blog, requesting that OpenAI grade an essay, contains 129 tokens, and the output contains 12 tokens.

The input cost is \$0.0000645, and the output cost is $0.000018.

ChatGPT provides an alternative approach to essay grading. This post has delved into the practical application of ChatGPT’s natural language processing capabilities, demonstrating how it can be used for efficient and accurate essay grading, with a comparison to human grading. The flexibility of ChatGPT is particularly evident when handling large volumes of essays, making it a viable alternative tool for educators and researchers. By employing the ChatGPT API key service, the grading process becomes not only streamlined but also adaptable to varying scales, from individual essays to hundreds or even thousands.

This technology has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of the grading process. By automating the assessment of written work, teachers and researchers can devote more time to other critical aspects of education. However, it’s important to acknowledge the limitations of current LLMs in this context. While they can assist in grading, relying solely on LLMs for final grades could be problematic, especially if LLMs are biased or inaccurate. Such scenarios could lead to unfair outcomes for individual students, highlighting the need for human oversight in the grading process. For large scale research, where we look at always across many essays, this is less of a concern (see e.g., Mozer et al., 2023)

The guide in this blog has provided a step-by-step walkthrough of setting up and accessing the ChatGPT API essay grading.

We also explored the reliability of ChatGPT’s grading, as compared to human grading. The moderate positive correlation of 0.62 attests to same consistency between human grading and ChatGPT’s evaluations. The classification results reveal that the model achieves an accuracy of approximately 84%, and the Cohen’s Kappa value of 0.71 indicates substantial agreement beyond what would be expected by chance alone. See the related study (Kim et al., 2024) for more on this.

In essence, this comprehensive guide underscores the transformative potential of ChatGPT in essay grading, presenting it as a valuable approach in the ever-evolving educational fields. This post gives an overview; we next dig in a bit more, thinking about prompt engineering + providing examples to improve accuracy.

Writer’s Comments

The api experience: a blend of ease and challenge.

Starting your journey with the ChatGPT API will be surprisingly smooth, especially if you have some Python experience. Copying and pasting code from this blog, followed by acquiring your own ChatGPT API and tweaking prompts and datasets, might seem like a breeze. However, this simplicity masks the underlying complexity. Bumps along the road are inevitable, reminding us that “mostly” easy does not mean entirely challenge-free.

The biggest hurdle you will likely face is mastering the art of crafting effective prompts. While ChatGPT’s responses are impressive, they can also be unpredictably variable. Conducting multiple pilot runs with 5-10 essays is crucial. Experimenting with diverse prompts on the same essays can act as a stepping stone, refining your approach and building confidence for wider application.

When things click, the benefits are undeniable. Automating the grading process with ChatGPT can save considerable time. Human graders, myself included, can struggle with maintaining consistent standards across a mountain of essays. ChatGPT, on the other hand, might be more stable when grading large batches in a row.

It is crucial to acknowledge that this method is not a magic bullet. Continuous scoring is not quite there yet, and limitations still exist. But the good news is that LLMs like ChatGPT are constantly improving, and new options are emerging.

Overall Reflections: A Journey of Discovery

The exploration of the ChatGPT API can be a blend of innovation, learning, and the occasional frustration. While AI grading systems like ChatGPT are not perfect, their ability to save time and provide consistent grading scheme makes them an intriguing addition to the educational toolkit. As we explore and refine these tools, the horizon for their application in educational settings seems ever-expanding, offering a glimpse into a future where AI and human educators work together to enhance the learning experience. Who knows, maybe AI will become a valuable partner in the grading process in the future!

Chat GPT is one of the most popular AI tools. It is a chatbot that replies to your requests and can produce tons of content within minutes. Below, we will discuss its main features and explain the ethics of using AI for studies.

Why Check Essay for ChatGPT?

College essays aim to demonstrate a student’s understanding of the course content and ability to communicate complex ideas. However, educators cannot accurately test students’ competencies and learning outcomes if their essays are AI-generated. That is why teachers should use AI detection tools whenever they suspect that a written assignment has been produced by AI.

Students can also benefit from the Chat GPT essay detector. Here’s what you can use it for:

  • To ensure that your essay does not look AI-generated and you won’t be wrongly accused of cheating.
  • To check how creative your writing is and make the necessary adjustments.

🔎 ChatGPT Essay Detector — What Exactly Does It Show?

Our Chat GPT paper checker can detect AI-generated text percentage . Read the explanation below and practice using our tool to learn how it works.

AI Text Probability

In the results section, you’ll see a histogram with colored columns. The Y axis (vertical) shows the rounded number of words in your text, and the X axis (horizontal) shows columns categorized into four groups. The groups represent the words that are most and least likely to be used by AI . Each color has its meaning:

🟩 Green The green color marks the .
🟨 Yellow Yellow words are .
🟥 Red Red words are .
🟪 Violet Words highlighted in violet are .

Text Analysis

Below the histogram you see a detailed analysis of the text you scanned . Each word is colored in one of the four colors (according to how likely it is to be used by GPT) and when you press on any of them you see additional information:

  • Synonyms to substitute the words with a high probability of AI origin;
  • A shortened rating of the words where the higher position indicates a higher probability of the term being used by an AI text generator.

Fraction of Probability

The histogram displays the likelihood ratio between the most probable word for AI to use and the subsequent one. A higher value on the right column of the histogram indicates a greater likelihood that the essay was generated by AI.

Chat GPT is a breakthrough in the field of AI and the technology industry. However, to get the most benefits from it, people should use it ethically.

Below, we will explain how to use Chat GPT responsibly in your studies:

  • Ask Chat GPT to create captivating hooks for your papers. A hook is a statement at the beginning of an essay that captures the reader’s attention and keeps them interested. Chat GPT can provide several attention grabbers for you to choose the best one. Don’t forget to double-check the sources and information provided by the chatbot for accuracy.
  • Utilize Chat GPT to generate original ideas for your paper. Be precise in your prompts and include keywords. This way, you will get relevant answers. But don’t rely solely on Chat GPT , especially if you have to generate ideas based on recent events. Chat GPT’s database incorporates information up until 2021.
  • Summarize articles and paraphrase texts. The AI tool can process texts much faster than humans, so delegating this task to technology seems reasonable. You can even choose the length of the summary and the ratio of paraphrased words.
  • Use Chat GPT to generate text outlines. Create a prompt and describe the result you want to achieve. You can ask Chat GPT to create an outline for an article, essay, presentation, brochure, or any other assignment. However, it is better to double-check the generated plan for alignment with the initial task, word limit, etc.
  • Prepare for tests and exams using Chat GPT. The chatbot can explain complex topics and generate revision questions. It can also highlight your mistakes and identify the areas which require more practice.
  • Learn a new language with Chat GPT. The AI model can explain grammar, correct mistakes, and show context for new vocabulary. It is a cost-effective and unconventional way of studying a foreign language.

Based on the ethical code of ChatGPT use, here are the main benefits of the Chat GPT essay detector tool.

Since ChatGPT pulls information from sources that were written by humans, you’re probably wondering: does ChatGPT plagiarize content?

It’s a question that has been bouncing around classrooms, universities, and professional circles alike. With AI content generation tools becoming increasingly popular, the line between ethical content creation and plagiarism feels blurrier than ever.

Some argue that AI chatbots, trained on massive amounts of data, simply regurgitate information in a way that constitutes plagiarism.

Others say the ability to process information and form unique answers exonerates them from any wrongdoing.

In a world increasingly reliant on technology for efficiency, this question carries substantial weight: does ChatGPT plagiarize?

Let’s break down the nuances of this hot topic and find out.

I asked ChatGPT our burning question: does ChatGPT plagiarize?

Here’s what the bot answered:

does chatgpt plagiarize

Traditionally, plagiarism is defined as the act of copying someone else’s work or ideas without giving them proper credit.

AI models, ChatGPT included, learn by absorbing a huge collection of digital information: books, articles, code, you name it. This process helps them generate human-sounding text.

However, instead of directly copying text from these sources, they use algorithms to rearrange existing information.

Why Things Get Tricky With AI-Generated Content

Even though AI doesn’t intentionally steal content, a few things can muddy the plagiarism waters:

  • Overlapping Information: With so much content online, AI outputs can sometimes unintentionally echo existing text, especially if given generic prompts or asked to produce content on widely covered subjects.
  • Lack of Proper Attribution: While AI can help generate ideas or find relevant research, it often fails at giving proper credit. It might reference statistics or theories without directly linking to the source.

So, while AI models aren’t stealing your teacher’s lesson plan verbatim, they sometimes skirt the ethical lines of using existing knowledge without attribution.

While it may seem like ChatGPT would provide the same answers to identical questions, the reality is quite different.

ChatGPT is designed to generate unique, context-specific responses tailored to each user’s input and communication style. This means that even if two users ask the same question, they may receive different answers.

Several key factors contribute to the diversity of ChatGPT’s responses:

  • Question Context: The context surrounding a question can significantly impact the generated answer. ChatGPT considers the entire conversation history and the specific phrasing of the question to provide a relevant response.
  • User Input Quality: The clarity and specificity of the user’s input play a crucial role in determining the quality and accuracy of ChatGPT’s answer. Well-structured and detailed questions tend to yield more precise and informative responses.
  • User Communication Style: ChatGPT adapts its language and tone to match the user’s communication style and preferences. This means that the same question asked by two users with different writing styles may result in answers that vary in terms of formality, vocabulary, and overall tone.

As AI language models like ChatGPT become increasingly popular, many people are wondering whether using the content generated by these tools without proper attribution constitutes plagiarism.

The answer to this question is not always straightforward and depends on various factors, such as the intended use of the content and the specific guidelines set by academic institutions or publishers.

The Gray Area of AI-Generated Content

As I mentioned earlier, the lines between original work and plagiarism can become blurred when it comes to AI content.

ChatGPT and other AI language models generate human-like responses based on patterns and information they have learned. This means that the content produced by these models may not be entirely original, as it is derived from pre-existing sources.

However, the use of AI-generated content is not inherently plagiarism.

If you use ChatGPT to help brainstorm ideas, improve your writing style, or generate rough drafts that you then substantially edit and refine, you are not committing plagiarism.

The key is to use AI as a tool to assist your writing process rather than relying on it to produce final, unattributed work.

To minimize the risk of unintentional plagiarism when using ChatGPT, consider the following tips:

  • Provide unique and creative prompts to encourage the model to generate original content.
  • Use ChatGPT’s output as a starting point for your own writing instead of using it verbatim.
  • Always fact-check and verify the information generated by ChatGPT, as it may produce inaccurate or outdated information.
  • Run the machine-generated content through a plagiarism detector to identify any potential similarities to existing text.

It’s important to remember that while ChatGPT is a powerful tool for generating text, it should not be relied upon as a sole source of content creation. Instead, use it as a supplement to your own research, writing, and editing process to ensure the production of high-quality, original content.

A recent report predicted that by 2026, nearly 90% of online content will be AI-generated . With that much digital information floating around, can you really get busted for leaning on ChatGPT a bit too hard?

Well, yes and no.

If you’re thinking about passing off an entire ChatGPT-written essay as your own — just don’t.

In 2023, a professor at Northern Michigan University reported catching two students using ChatGPT.

Back in the day, catching plagiarism meant a teacher recognizing familiar phrases or comparing your writing to an online source.

But guess what? Tech is catching up.

Turnitin, a plagiarism detection platform many educational institutions use, says it is now able to detect ChatGPT content. It all comes down to analyzing the text’s predictability.

AI writing often follows predictable patterns and sentence structures. Even if the exact wording isn’t lifted from another source, sophisticated algorithms can now identify subtle markers of AI-generated content.

But can AI really detect AI?

does chatgpt plagiarize

With tools like ChatGPT exploding in popularity, developers knew they’d also need to build safeguards into the system to maintain academic and professional integrity.

Enter AI detection tools. Here are a couple of popular options used by educators and businesses alike:

  • Turnitin: If you are looking for a reliable plagiarism checker, we recommend Turnitin . Popular in the education sector, Turnitin can detect text produced by tools like ChatGPT and other AI language models, sniffing out AI-generated content.
  • GPTZero: Created by a student, no less. If you are looking for an AI detector, we recommend GPTZero . This platform can quickly scan a chunk of text to assess whether a human or an AI likely wrote it.
  • Content at Scale: Finally, the OG among AI content detectors. Before ChatGPT even burst onto the scene, Content at Scale the long-form AI SEO writer was already generating 100% original content. Now Content at Scale the AI detector is among the most popular tools for marketers, publishers, and business owners who want undetectable content — now more important than ever as Google tries to crack down on AI spammy content.

But just like everything else in tech, these AI-detection tools aren’t flawless. You’d be amazed at how many false positives occur. These are instances where AI flags human-written content as AI-generated.

For example, a history student at UC Davis was accused (and eventually cleared) of cheating on his take-home midterm exam after his professor ran his answers through GPTZero .

In another case, a political science major from the same college was accused of using AI to summarize a Supreme Court case — a brief she wrote herself — because it was wrongly flagged by Turnitin .

This can be frustrating and demotivating for students who have to go through stressful weeks or months just to clear their name.

Best Practices for Publishing Plagiarism-Free AI Content

To avoid plagiarism when using AI-generated content, consider the following best practices:

  • Always review, edit, and expand upon the generated content to make it your own.
  • If you directly quote or closely paraphrase AI-generated text, provide proper attribution, such as “Generated by ChatGPT” or “Adapted from ChatGPT output.”
  • Consult with your institution or publisher to understand their specific policies regarding the use of AI-generated content.
  • When in doubt, err on the side of caution and provide attribution or consult with a plagiarism expert to ensure you are using AI-generated content ethically.

By following these guidelines and using AI language models responsibly, you can harness the power of tools like ChatGPT to enhance your writing without crossing ethical boundaries or committing plagiarism.

I think the question, “Does ChatGPT plagiarize?” will continue evolving.

You see, back in the early 2000s, Wikipedia caused a major plagiarism uproar . Institutions were scrambling to figure out how this new tool fit into traditional expectations of academic honesty and original thought.

But now? Wikipedia citations are totally commonplace. What once sent shockwaves through academia is just another Tuesday.

Maybe we will eventually accept some level of AI-assisted writing as normal and implement guidelines for transparency. It’s about finding the balance as this rapidly evolving technology continues to become entrenched in our daily lives.

Can you use ChatGPT to write essays without plagiarizing?

Yes, you can use ChatGPT to write essays without plagiarizing. Use it to generate ideas and structure, rewrite the content in your own words, and then cite any specific information or ideas obtained from the AI.

Always ensure that the final essay reflects your original expression.

Does ChatGPT show up on Turnitin?

Yes, ChatGPT-generated content can show up on Turnitin if it closely resembles existing sources or if it includes phrases or text that match materials previously scanned by Turnitin.

It’s important to use ChatGPT responsibly and ensure your work is properly cited and attributed to avoid plagiarism.

Is ChatGPT traceable?

Yes, content generated by ChatGPT can be traced back to the model itself and the platform where it was generated.

Platforms hosting ChatGPT may have logs or records of interactions, but individual user interactions are typically not directly traceable without additional context or information sharing.

Can ChatGPT paraphrasing be detected?

ChatGPT’s paraphrasing can sometimes be detected by plagiarism checkers if the generated text closely resembles existing sources or uses similar sentence structures and phrases.

It’s important to review and edit any machine-generated content to ensure it reflects your own style and tone.

So, does ChatGPT plagiarize?

While these AI tools don’t set out to plagiarize and steal someone else’s work, they don’t always get it right either.

It’s more of a gray area because we need a clear-cut definition of how much influence an AI is “allowed” to have on content before crossing into plagiarism.

British Academics Despair as ChatGPT-Written Essays Swamp Grading Season

‘It’s not a machine for cheating; it’s a machine for producing crap,’ says one professor infuriated by the rise of bland essays.

By  Jack Grove for Times Higher Education

The increased prevalence of students using ChatGPT to write essays should prompt a rethink about whether current policies encouraging “ethical” use of artificial intelligence (AI) are working, scholars have argued.

Times Higher Ed Logo

With marking season in full flow, lecturers have taken to social media in large numbers to complain about AI-generated content found in submitted work.

Telltale signs of ChatGPT use, according to academics, include little-used words such as “delve” and “multifaceted,” summarizing key themes using bullet points and a jarring conversational style using terms such as, “Let’s explore this theme.”

In a more obvious giveaway, one professor said an advertisement for an AI essay company was  buried in a paper’s introduction ; another academic noted how a student had  forgotten to remove a chatbot statement  that the content was AI-generated.

“I had no idea how many would resort to it,” admitted  one U.K. law professor .

Des Fitzgerald, professor of medical humanities and social sciences at  University College Cork , told  Times Higher Education  that student use of AI had “gone totally mainstream” this year.

“Across a batch of essays, you do start to notice the tics of ChatGPT essays, which is partly about repetition of certain words or phrases, but is also just a kind of aura of machinic blandness that’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t encountered it—an essay with no edges, that does nothing technically wrong or bad, but not much right or good, either,” said Professor Fitzgerald.

Since  ChatGPT’s emergence in late 2022 , some universities have adopted policies to allow the use of AI as long as it is acknowledged, while others have begun using AI content detectors, although  opinion is divided on their effectiveness .

According to the  latest Student Academic Experience Survey , for which Advance HE and the Higher Education Policy Institute polled around 10,000 U.K. undergraduates, 61 percent use AI at least a little each month, “in a way allowed by their institution,” while 31 percent do so every week.

Professor Fitzgerald said that although some colleagues “think we just need to live with this, even that we have a duty to teach students to use it well,” he was “totally against” the use of AI tools for essays.

“ChatGPT is completely antithetical to everything I think I’m doing as a teacher—working with students to engage with texts, thinking through ideas, learning to clarify and express complex thoughts, taking some risks with those thoughts, locating some kind of distinctive inner voice. ChatGPT is total poison for all of this, and we need to simply ban it,” he said.

Steve Fuller, professor of sociology at the  University of Warwick , agreed that AI use had “become more noticeable” this year despite his students signing contracts saying they would not use it to write essays.

He said he was not opposed to students using it “as long as what they produce sounds smart and on point, and the marker can’t recognize it as simply having been lifted from another source wholesale.”

Those who leaned heavily on the technology should expect a relatively low mark, even though they might pass, said Professor Fuller.

“Students routinely commit errors of fact, reasoning and grammar [without ChatGPT], yet if their text touches enough bases with the assignment, they’re likely to get somewhere in the low- to mid-60s. ChatGPT does a credible job at simulating such mediocrity, and that’s good enough for many of its student users,” he said.

Having to mark such mediocre essays partly generated by AI is, however, a growing complaint among academics. Posting on X,  Lancaster University  economist  Renaud Foucart  said marking AI-generated essays “takes much more time to assess [because] I need to concentrate much more to cut through the amount of seemingly logical statements that are actually full of emptiness.”

“My biggest issue [with AI] is less the moral issue about cheating but more what ChatGPT offers students,” Professor Fitzgerald added. “All it is capable of is [writing] bad essays made up of non-ideas and empty sentences. It’s not a machine for cheating; it’s a machine for producing crap.”

These tools are especially helpful in the preparation and revision stages of your essay writing.

You can use ChatGPT to:

  • Write a research question
  • Develop an outline
  • Find relevant source information
  • Summarise or paraphrase text
  • Get feedback

You can use ChatGPT to brainstorm potential research questions or to narrow down your thesis statement . Begin by inputting a description of the research topic or assigned question. Then include a prompt like “Write 3 possible research questions on this topic”.

You can make the prompt as specific as you like. For example, you can include the writing level (e.g., high school essay, college essay), perspective (e.g., first person) and the type of essay you intend to write (e.g., argumentative , descriptive , expository , or narrative ).

You can also mention any facts or viewpoints you’ve gathered that should be incorporated into the output.

If the output doesn’t suit your topic, you can click “Regenerate response” to have the tool generate a new response. You can do this as many times as you like, and you can try making your prompt more specific if you struggle to get the results you want.

Once you’ve decided on a research question, you can use ChatGPT to develop an essay outline . This can help keep you on track by giving you a clear idea of what topics you want to discuss and in what order.

Do this by prompting ChatGPT to create an outline for a specific research question, mentioning any topics or points you want to discuss. You can also mention the writing level and the intended length of your essay so that the tool generates an appropriate outline.

You can then refine this by further prompting ChatGPT or editing the outline manually until it meets your requirements.

Examples: Using ChatGPT to generate an essay outline

  • Develop an outline for an argumentative high school essay with the following research question: “What are the long-term effects of widespread adoption of distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic on students’ academic performance and overall educational outcomes?”The essay will be about 4 pages long.
  • Background information on the Covid-19 pandemic and the shift to distance learning
  • Thesis statement: The widespread adoption of distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has had both positive and negative long-term effects on students’ academic performance and overall educational outcomes.
  • Increased flexibility and personalized learning opportunities
  • Access to a wider range of resources and educational materials
  • Development of self-directed learning skills
  • Critiques and limitations of previous studies
  • Lack of face-to-face interaction and reduced social engagement
  • Increased potential for distractions and lack of structure
  • Technological barriers and unequal access to resources
  • Examination of studies and data on academic achievement during distance learning
  • Analysis of long-term effects on educational attainment and future opportunities
  • Discussion of potential implications for college admissions and career readiness
  • Strategies for promoting student engagement and motivation in distance learning
  • Importance of teacher-student communication and support
  • Addressing technological disparities and ensuring equitable access to resources
  • Recap of the main points discussed
  • Emphasize the need for further research and long-term planning to optimize distance learning experiences
  • Restate the thesis and provide a final thought on the potential long-term effects of distance learning on students’ academic performance and overall educational outcomes

Once you know the scope of your essay, you can find relevant primary and secondary sources to support your argument.

However, we don’t recommend prompting ChatGPT to generate a list of sources as it occasionally makes mistakes (like listing nonexistent sources). Instead, it’s a good idea to use ChatGPT to get suggestions for the types of sources relevant to your essay and track them down using a credible research database or your institution’s library.

When you have found relevant sources, use a specialised tool like the Scribbr Citation Generator to cite them in your essay.

Example: Using ChatGPT to find sources

  • What types of sources can I use to write an essay on the following research question?”What are the long-term effects of widespread adoption of distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic on students’ academic performance and overall educational outcomes?”
  • Academic Journals and Research Articles: Look for scholarly articles and research studies published in peer-reviewed academic journals. These sources often provide in-depth analysis, empirical evidence, and statistical data on the long-term effects of distance learning.
  • Educational and Government Reports: Reports published by educational institutions, government agencies, or educational organizations can offer valuable insights into the impact of distance learning on academic performance and educational outcomes. These reports may include surveys, case studies, and data analysis specific to the Covid-19 pandemic and distance learning.
  • Official Websites and Publications: Explore the official websites of educational institutions, education ministries, or educational technology companies. They often publish articles, white papers, or research findings related to distance learning and its effects on students’ academic performance.
  • Expert Interviews or Opinion Pieces: Seek out interviews or opinion pieces from experts in the field of education, distance learning, or pedagogy. These sources can provide valuable perspectives and insights on the long-term effects of distance learning on students’ educational outcomes.
  • Online Databases and Digital Libraries: Utilize online databases and digital libraries such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, or academic databases provided by your educational institution. These platforms offer a wide range of scholarly articles, research papers, and publications that can support your arguments.
  • Surveys and Studies Conducted by Educational Institutions: Some schools or universities may have conducted their own surveys or studies to evaluate the impact of distance learning on students. Check if your educational institution has published any research findings or survey results that are relevant to your topic.

During your writing process, you can use ChatGPT as a summarising tool to condense text to its essential ideas or as a paraphraser to rephrase text in clear, accessible language. Using ChatGPT in these ways can help you to understand complex material, express your own ideas more clearly, and avoid repetition.

Simply input the relevant text and prompt the tool to summarise or paraphrase it. Alternatively, you can use Scribbr’s free text summariser and Scribbr’s free paraphrasing tool , which are specifically designed for these purposes.

Example: Using ChatGPT to summarise/paraphrase

  • Paraphrase the following text using clear language:”Engaging in an extensive examination of the intricate interplay between remote instructional methods and academic achievement necessitates consideration of diverse factors, including the pedagogical efficacy of virtual platforms, the socioemotional ramifications of reduced face-to-face interactions, the equitable accessibility of technological resources, and the potential long-lasting implications for students’ educational trajectories and future opportunities.”
  • To thoroughly explore the connection between remote teaching methods and academic success, it is crucial to take into account various factors. These factors include evaluating how well virtual platforms support effective teaching, understanding the impact of limited in-person interactions on students’ emotional well-being, ensuring fair access to technology resources, and recognizing the potential long-term effects on students’ educational paths and future prospects.

Once you’ve written your essay, you can prompt ChatGPT to provide feedback and recommend improvements.

You can indicate how the tool should provide feedback (e.g., “Act like a university professor examining papers”) and include the specific points you want to receive feedback on (e.g., consistency of tone, clarity of argument, appropriateness of evidence).

While this is not an adequate substitute for an experienced academic supervisor, it can help you with quick preliminary feedback.

You can also use ChatGPT to check grammar mistakes. However, ChatGPT sometimes misses errors and on rare occasions may even introduce new grammatical mistakes. We suggest using a tool like Scribbr’s free grammar checker , which is designed specifically for this purpose. Or, for more in-depth feedback, try Scribbr’s proofreading and editing service .

Example: Using ChatGPT for feedback

  • Feedback the above text with regard to consistency of tone, clarity of argument, appropriateness of evidence, and coherence of structure.
  • Clarity of Argument: The argument could be further clarified by explicitly connecting the discussed factors to their impact on academic performance. For example, explicitly stating how the proficiency of virtual platforms and equitable access to technology affect academic performance would strengthen the clarity of the argument.
  • Appropriateness of Evidence: The evidence provided is generally appropriate and relevant. To enhance the strength of the evidence, consider incorporating specific examples, research studies, or statistics that directly support the discussed factors and their impact on academic performance. This would provide stronger evidence for the claims made.
  • Coherence of Structure: The structure of the text is coherent, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs addressing different factors, and a conclusion. To improve coherence, consider adding transitional phrases or sentences at the beginning or end of paragraphs to facilitate the smooth flow of ideas between paragraphs. This would enhance the overall structure and make it easier for the reader to follow the argument.

Overall, the text demonstrates a consistent tone, a clear argument, appropriate evidence, and a coherent structure. Clarifying the argument by explicitly connecting the factors to their impact, incorporating stronger evidence, and adding transitional phrases for better coherence would further enhance the text’s effectiveness. Note Passing off AI-generated text as your own work is generally considered plagiarism (or at least academic dishonesty ) and may result in an automatic fail and other negative consequences . AI detectors may be used to detect this offence.

Using AI writing tools (like ChatGPT ) to write your essay is usually considered plagiarism and may result in penalisation, unless it is allowed by your university. Text generated by AI tools is based on existing texts and therefore cannot provide unique insights. Furthermore, these outputs sometimes contain factual inaccuracies or grammar mistakes.

However, AI writing tools can be used effectively as a source of feedback and inspiration for your writing (e.g., to generate research questions ). Other AI tools, like grammar checkers, can help identify and eliminate grammar and punctuation mistakes to enhance your writing.

Using ChatGPT to Write a College Essay | Tips & Examples

Published on June 26, 2023 by Koen Driessen . Revised on December 8, 2023.

A good college essay helps to distinguish your application from those of other candidates. It conveys your experiences, values, and character traits and indicates why you would make a good addition to the university you’re applying to.

Your college essay should be your own work. However, AI tools like ChatGPT may be helpful during the preparation and revision stages of your writing.

You can also use the essay checker , so you don’t have to revise your writing yourself.

You can use these tools to:

  • Brainstorm essay ideas
  • Develop an outline
  • Generate feedback

Instantly correct all language mistakes in your text

Table of contents

Brainstorming ideas, developing an outline, generating feedback, limitations of using chatgpt, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions.

Your college essay topic should reveal something distinctive about your personality and have a unique angle.

Brainstorming a range of potential ideas is a good place to start. This can help to stimulate creative thinking and prompt self-reflection. It can also help you draw connections between seemingly unrelated experiences or ideas.

You can use ChatGPT to generate questions to help you brainstorm.

Example: Using ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas

  • Generate 10 questions to help me brainstorm topics for my college admission essay.
  • How has a particular life experience shaped your perspective on a specific issue or topic?
  • What challenges or obstacles have you faced, and how have they influenced your personal growth?
  • How has your involvement in extracurricular activities impacted your character development and contributed to your identity?
  • In what ways have you demonstrated leadership skills and made a positive impact on your community?
  • Describe a significant academic achievement or project that showcases your intellectual curiosity and passion.
  • How have your cultural background and family values influenced your aspirations and goals for the future?
  • Reflect on a time when you had to step outside of your comfort zone to achieve a meaningful outcome. What did you learn from this experience?
  • How do you envision using your education to make a difference in the world or contribute to a specific field or industry?
  • What do you believe sets you apart from other applicants, and how would your unique perspective enrich the college community?
  • Discuss a book, artwork, or scientific discovery that has profoundly impacted your thinking and helped shape your intellectual interests.

Check for common mistakes

Use the best grammar checker available to check for common mistakes in your text.

Fix mistakes for free

College admission essays don’t follow one predefined structure, so you can approach them creatively and incorporate storytelling techniques.

Two common approaches to structuring your essay are the narrative structure (a chronological narrative that shows your character development over time) and the vignette or montage structure (multiple scenes connected by a common topic or theme).

Regardless of the structure you choose, it’s important to establish a coherent narrative and ensure that your essay flows smoothly.

You can use ChatGPT as a source of inspiration and to generate potential ideas on how to structure your college essay . Do this by prompting the tool to create an outline using your chosen topic. You can make the prompt as specific as you like, mentioning any facts or viewpoints that should be incorporated into the output.

Examples: Using ChatGPT to generate an essay outline

  • Provide a very short outline for a college admission essay. The essay will be about my experience working at an animal shelter. The essay will be 500 words long.
  • Hook: Share a brief and engaging anecdote about your experience at the animal shelter.
  • Thesis statement: Working at an animal shelter has been a transformative experience, teaching me valuable lessons about compassion, resilience, and community impact.
  • Describe your first impressions and emotions upon starting work at the shelter.
  • Discuss the challenges you encountered, such as the condition of the animals or the emotional toll of their situations.
  • Highlight the relationships you formed with the animals and their impact on you.
  • Discuss specific instances where you witnessed the transformative power of love and care on the animals’ well-being.
  • Explore the collaborative efforts within the shelter community.
  • Discuss how working with others led to positive outcomes and inspired you to make a difference.
  • Reflect on how working at the shelter has shaped your character and values.
  • Discuss the skills and lessons learned that are applicable beyond the shelter environment.
  • Connect your experiences to your future goals and aspirations.
  • Summarize the main points discussed in the essay.
  • Reinforce the transformative nature of your experience and your commitment to making a positive impact in the future.

You can use ChatGPT to help revise your essay before submitting it to ensure that it’s of a high quality. However, ChatGPT cannot provide the same kind of informed feedback as a human, and it’s not able to adequately judge qualities such as vulnerability and authenticity. For this reason, it’s important to also ask for feedback from two to three people who have experience with college essays and who know you well.

Nevertheless, you can use ChatGPT to generate feedback on certain aspects, such as consistency of tone, clarity of structure, and grammar and punctuation. You can also use  Scribbr’s free paraphrasing tool to help vary the tone of your writing and Scribbr’s free grammar checker to ensure your text is free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.

Alternatively, you can seek the advice of a human essay coach or editor. We recommend using Scribbr’s essay editing service .

Example: Using ChatGPT to get feedback

  • Provide constructive feedback on how to improve the above essay with regard to appropriateness of tone, clarity of structure, and grammar and punctuation.
  • The tone of the essay is generally appropriate, conveying a sense of personal growth and passion. However, consider injecting more enthusiasm and emotion into certain parts of the essay to make it more engaging and captivating.
  • The overall structure of the essay is clear and follows a logical progression. However, it would benefit from a stronger introduction that hooks the reader and clearly outlines the main points to be discussed.
  • Consider using clear topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to provide a preview of the main idea or argument that will be presented.
  • Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and verb tenses throughout the essay to ensure consistency.
  • Proofread the essay to eliminate any repetitive phrases or sentences.
  • Check for the correct use of commas and other punctuation marks, ensuring they are used appropriately to enhance clarity and flow.

Additionally, here are a few constructive suggestions for improvement:

  • Expand on the ways in which working at the animal shelter influenced your future aspirations and academic/professional pursuits.
  • Be mindful of using diverse vocabulary and sentence structures to enhance the overall quality of the essay.

While ChatGPT can help you brainstorm, outline, and revise your essay, having it write your essay for you can negatively impact your application in several ways.

Unoriginal content

ChatGPT responses are based on a wide range of sources and sometimes resemble existing texts. Furthermore, they are not always unique, since other users may receive the same responses to similar prompts.

As the point of a college essay is to showcase your unique experiences and perspective and make you stand out from other candidates, having ChatGPT write your essay is not a good idea.

Formulaic style

ChatGPT outputs don’t reflect your personality, are highly formulaic, and contain many clichés (e.g., outputs often use hackneyed phrases like “burning desire,” “insatiable curiosity,” and “thirst for knowledge”).

Furthermore, ChatGPT outputs often “tell” rather than “show” (i.e., they state a fact instead of illustrating it using examples and vivid imagery).

Lack of personal insight

Human-written text tends to be more unpredictable and contain more creative language choices than AI-generated writing.

While the connections you make in your writing should not be nonsensical, drawing unique and unexpected connections between different experiences can help show character development and display your creativity and critical thinking skills.

ChatGPT can’t do this. Furthermore, it can’t express authentic emotion or vulnerability about specific memories that are, after all, your memories, not ChatGPT’s.

Risk of plagiarism

Passing off AI-generated text as your own work is usually considered plagiarism (or at least academic dishonesty ). AI detectors may be used to detect this offense.

It’s highly unlikely that a university will accept your application if you are caught submitting an AI-generated college essay.

仕事で活用できるオススメGPTs 6選

中川達生/AI開発のROX CEO

ChatGPT で作成できる独自アプリケーションのGPTsですが、

「仕事でめっちゃ利用できるな」

と思った思ったGPTsを6つ、紹介させて頂きます。

GPTs、膨大な数がリリースされていますので、探すのだけで一苦労ですよね。

このまとめ情報が、みなさんの仕事の効率化に役立てば幸いです。

全てのGPTsに共通して言えるメリット

そもそも論の話なのですが、気づいた大事な点を、最初に書かせて頂きますね。

いやいや、GPTsなんか使わんでも、ChatGPT で十分賢いねんから、それで十分ちゃう?

と思われた方もいてはるかもしれません。

僕が思うに、 既成のGPTsを使う最大のメリットは、プロンプトを簡略化できる 、という点です。

例えば、以下では主に画像生成のGPTsを紹介します。

思い通りの画像を作るプロンプトて、めっちゃ大変です。

あっと言う間に数時間、半日と時間が経ってしまいます。。。

僕も何度か経験ありますね。。

仕事で楽をするために生成AIを使っているのに、気づいたら良いプロンプトを探し求めてめっちゃ苦労している というギャグみたいな展開。

それを防ぐためにも、簡単なプロンプトで、狙いのアウトプットを出してくれる(そのように事前にチューニング済みの)GPTsは、それだけで価値があると思います👍

さて、では以降で個別のご紹介です。

1.ビジネスで使える画像生成

とてもクールで爽やかな画像を作成してくれます。

僕は仕事でよくプレゼンをするので、そういう時に挿絵として使う画像に困っていました。

この画像生成AIでしたら、ちょうど良い感じに仕事で使いやすい画像を作ってくれます。

このnoteのヘッダーが画像も、このGPTsで作成しました。

essay checker for chatgpt

2.ピクトグラム メーカー

これもプレゼン資料の用途です。

ピクトグラム で表現したいことがあっても、なかなか適した物がないことがあります。

そういう時に、このGPTsで作ってしまえるので、非常に仕事に役立つなと感じています。

3.image generator

世界的にもっとも人気のあるGPTsの一つの印象です。

使ってみたところ、人物画も上手いですが、風景画の方が適性が高いのかと感じました。

essay checker for chatgpt

クオリティーの高い画像が必要な時に、便利なGPTsだと思います。

4.広告で使える美人美女画像生成BOT

仕事の資料では、女性の画像が必要になることもあります。

そういう時にネットの写真を無断で使うわけにはいきません。著作権がありますので。

なので、この生成AIは非常に便利だなと思いました。

試しに、僕の会社ではパン屋向けのビジネスがあるので、パン屋の女性ということで画像を作ってみました。

essay checker for chatgpt

5.Fact Checker

かなり1〜4.で紹介したGPTsとはテイストの異なるものです。

ただ、これもかなり仕事でいかせると感じました。

Fact Checkerの名の通り、

「世の中にはこういうイメージがあるが、本当にそうかな?」

という”ファクト”を、チェックしてくれます。

また、チェックした際の根拠も示してくれるので便利です。

何らかの調査における効率を格段に上げてくれると思います。

6.Paper Interpreter (Japanese)

論文を簡潔にわかりやすくしてくれます。

仕事がら、学術論文に目を通すことがあります。

論文て、長いものはとことん長いですよね。。。

読んで内容把握で一苦労、なんてことも多いです。

このGPTsを用いれば、要点だけ短い文章で整理してくれます。

論文の簡単な内容把握だけが目的であれば非常に便利だなと感じました。

今日は以上とさせて頂きます。

僕もいくつか自分でGPTsを作り始めていて感じていますが、

既に開発されているGPTsを利用すれば、

わざわざ自分で開発する手間も省けます。

こういう情報を得るのも、業務効率化に重要やなと感じます。

今日も読んで頂いて有難う御座いました😃

#GPTs #ChatGPT #生成AI #AI

#人工知能 #業務効率化 #仕事

最後までお読みいただき有難う御座います! サポート頂ければ嬉しいです😃 クリエイターとしての創作活動と、「自宅でなぜ靴下が片方無くなることがあるのか?」という研究費用に使わせて頂きます!
