How Originality.ai Detects AI Content

Why Originality.ai Is Different
Unlike academic detectors, Originality.ai is specifically designed for content marketing and SEO. This means:
1. It Targets Commercial Content
Originality.ai knows what AI-generated blog posts look like. It's trained on millions of SEO articles, product descriptions, and marketing copy.

One scan checks both AI detection and plagiarism. This dual-purpose makes it popular with agencies who need comprehensive content verification.
3. It's Updated Frequently
As a commercial tool, Originality.ai updates constantly to catch new AI models and humanization techniques. What worked 3 months ago might not work today.
Common Mistakes That Get Flagged
1. Over-Optimized Content
AI tends to over-optimize for SEO, stuffing keywords and using perfectly structured headings. Originality.ai specifically looks for this pattern in commercial content.
2. Generic Marketing Language
Phrases like "game-changing," "revolutionary," "industry-leading" are AI favorites. Using them excessively triggers detection.
3. Perfect Listicle Format
AI loves creating perfectly balanced listicles. Real content marketers vary their format more naturally.
