How ChatGPT text gives itself away
ChatGPT writes evenly: sentences of similar length, paragraphs with the same structure and phrases like “in today's world”, “it is important to note” or “in conclusion”. Detectors look at exactly these properties, along with how predictable the word choice is.
Other large models write the same way, so the check recognises machine writing in general — text from Claude or Gemini comes out much like text from ChatGPT.
