Can universities detect ChatGPT?

Tools like ChatGPT can be helpful for brainstorming, outlining, or exploring ideas in the early stages of research. However, most universities now actively use a combination of an AI Detector and a plagiarism checker.

Because AI-generated text often follows recognizable patterns (in structure, phrasing, and predictability), it can raise concerns if submitted without proper disclosure or revision. To stay in control of your work, it’s important to review and verify that your writing reflects your own voice. QuillBot’s AI Detector makes this easy by analyzing your text and highlighting content that may appear AI-generated, so you can edit, refine, and submit with confidence.
