Whether you are a student, blogger or publisher, this tool offers a great solution to detect and compare similarities between any two pieces of text. In this article, I will discuss the different ways to use the tool, the primary features of the tool and who this tool is for. There is an FAQ at the bottom if you run into any issues when trying to use the tool.

What makes Originality.ai’s text comparison tool stand out?

Keyword density helper – This tool comes with a built-in keyword density helper in some ways similar to the likes of SurferSEO or MarketMuse the difference being, ours is free! This feature shows the user the frequency of single or two word keywords in a document, meaning you can easily compare an article you have written against a competitor to see the major differences in keyword densities. This is especially useful for SEO’s who are looking to optimize their blog content for search engines and improve the blog’s visibility.

Ways to compare

File compare – Text comparison between files is a breeze with our tool. Simply select the files you would like to compare, hit “Upload” and our tool will automatically insert the content into the text area, then simply hit “Compare” and let our tool show you where the differences in the text are. By uploading a file, you can still check the keyword density in your content.

URL compare

Comparing text between URLs is effortless with our tool. Simply paste the URL you would like to get the content from (in our example we use a fantastic blog post by Sherice Jacob found here) hit “Submit URL” and our tool will automatically retrieve the contents of the page and paste it into the text area, then simply click “Compare” and let our tool highlight the difference between the URLs. This feature is especially useful for checking keyword density between pages!

Simple text compare

You can also easily compare text by copying and pasting it into each field, as demonstrated below.

Given the popularity of our recent studies into Google Bard content and Mixtral AI content, we have decided to conduct another small study into whether or not Grok AI content can get detected by some of the most popular AI content detection tools, including Originality.ai.

Here, we will look at the Grok AI model in greater detail and test the AI content detection tool’s abilities to detect whether the content generated is AI-written.

Read on to learn about the top-level results from this study, alongside a short analysis of how each tool performed.

You can also access the dataset here or the open-source AI detection testing/statistical analysis tool used for this study. 

We have made and open-sourced an AI detector efficacy research tool that is even easier for researchers to use to test AI detector efficacy against a dataset. 

Note:  this is ONLY a 200-sample test which is significantly too small for any conclusive answers. For a more complete AI detection accuracy study see this study

Short on time? Here are the key findings:

  1. Grok AI data can be identified at similar accuracies to existing LLM models, such as Google Bard and ChatGPT.
  1. Originality.ai - 90% True Positive Rate
  2. GPTZero - 68.6% True Positive Rate
  3. CopyLeaks - 67.5% True Positive Rate
  4. Sapling - 71% True Positive Rate

Method:

  • We created a 200-sample text dataset using Grok on Jan 17
  • Using the APIs for AI detectors, we tested against multiple detectors:
  • To ensure that this test was as fair and as impartial as possible, we conducted it using this open-source AI detector accuracy tool. This tool allowed us to ensure each API received the exact same articles so that there was continuity across each one and no margin for error or an easier segment for one tool compared to another.
  • Results are presented below, and the data of the test is available here 

Analysis:

To see how well each of these tools worked, we used machine learning best-practises, testing a wide variety of AI-generated content for maximum effect.

If you want to learn a little bit more about that process, check out this detailed guide. You can also learn more about the accuracy of AI detectors as a whole.

When trying to determine how effective an AI detector is, the easiest and most consistent method to use is by focusing on the confusion matrix (which you will see outlined for each detector in this article) and the F1 score. The F1 score is frequently used as a metric to convert the overall Confusion Matrix into a single figure.

Mixtral AI Detection Results:

Originality.ai

Originality.ai correctly identified 90 Percent of the content as AI-written

F1 score: 0.95

Recall: 0.9

Accuracy: 0.9

From our 200+ AI-generated article sample range, Originality.ai correctly identified 90% of the content as AI-written while incorrectly attributing 10% to human-written content.

GPTZero

GPTZero detecting 68.6 Percent of the content as AI-generated

F1 score: 0.81

Recall: 0.69

Accuracy: 0.69

GPTZero performed slightly worse for this test, detecting 68.6% of the content as AI-generated and incorrectly attributing 31.4% of the content as human-written.

CopyLeaks

CopyLeaks detecting 67 Percent of the content as AI-generated

F1 score: 0.81

Recall: 0.68

Accuracy: 0.68

CopyLeaks performed similarly to GPTZero, also significantly underperforming compared to Originality.ai, identifying 67.5% of the content as AI-generated and incorrectly claiming that 32.5% of the content is human-written.

Sapling

Sapling correctly identified 71 Percent of the content as AI-written

F1 score: 0.83

Recall: 0.71

Accuracy: 0.71

Sapling faired a little better than both CopyLeaks and GPTZero, but worse than Originality.ai, detecting 71% of the content as AI-generated and incorrectly determining 29% is AI-generated.

Summary

As you can see from the results of this test, Grok AI’s detectability is very similar across all tools compared to our other similar tests for Google Bard, ChatGPT, and Mixtral.

Originality.ai performed the strongest, with a 90% success rate compared to Sapling’s 71%, GPTZero’s 68.6%, and CopyLeaks’ 67.5%.

As you can see from this small dataset, even the best AI detectors have flaws, and that must be taken into account. However, it is clear from this study that the Originality.ai tool continues to lead the way with the most accurate AI content detection software.

It also highlights why these types of study are so important as we continue to push the conversation of AI transparency forward, to allow all of us to continue to learn, grow, and improve together. 

With that in mind, if you are interested in running your own study, please reach out, as we are happy to offer research credits.

We are also still looking for a participant in our challenge for charity (do AI detectors work). If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fill out the entire form?

No, that’s one of the benefits, only fill out the areas which you think will be relevant to the prompts you require.

Why is the English so poor for some prompts?

When making the tool we had to make each prompt as general as possible to be able to include every kind of input. Not to worry though ChatGPT is smart and will still understand the prompt.

In The Press

Originality.ai has been featured for its accurate ability to detect GPT-3, Chat GPT and GPT-4 generated content. See some of the coverage below…

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to check for plagiarism?

Tools for conducting a plagiarism check between two documents online are important as it helps to ensure the originality and authenticity of written work. Plagiarism undermines the value of professional and educational institutions, as well as the integrity of the authors who write articles. By checking for plagiarism, you can ensure the work that you produce is original or properly attributed to the original author. This helps prevent the distribution of copied and misrepresented information.

What is Text Comparison?

Text comparison is the process of taking two or more pieces of text and comparing them to see if there are any similarities, differences and/or plagiarism. The objective of a text comparison is to see if one of the texts has been copied or paraphrased from another text. This text compare tool for plagiarism check between two documents has been built to help you streamline that process by finding the discrepancies with ease.

How do Text Comparison Tools Work?

Text comparison tools work by analyzing and comparing the contents of two or more text documents to find similarities and differences between them. This is typically done by breaking the texts down into smaller units such as sentences or phrases, and then calculating a similarity score based on the number of identical or nearly identical units. The comparison may be based on the exact wording of the text, or it may take into account synonyms and other variations in language. The results of the comparison are usually presented in the form of a report or visual representation, highlighting the similarities and differences between the texts.

String comparison is a fundamental operation in text comparison tools that involves comparing two sequences of characters to determine if they are identical or not. This comparison can be done at the character level or at a higher level, such as the word or sentence level.

The most basic form of string comparison is the equality test, where the two strings are compared character by character and a Boolean result indicating whether they are equal or not is returned. More sophisticated string comparison algorithms use heuristics and statistical models to determine the similarity between two strings, even if they are not exactly the same. These algorithms often use techniques such as edit distance, which measures the minimum number of operations (such as insertions, deletions, and substitutions) required to transform one string into another.

Another common technique for string comparison is n-gram analysis, where the strings are divided into overlapping sequences of characters (n-grams) and the frequency of each n-gram is compared between the two strings. This allows for a more nuanced comparison that takes into account partial similarities, rather than just exact matches.

String comparison is a crucial component of text comparison tools, as it forms the basis for determining the similarities and differences between texts. The results of the string comparison can then be used to generate a report or visual representation of the similarities and differences between the texts.

What is Syntax Highlighting?

Syntax highlighting is a feature of text editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) that helps to visually distinguish different elements of a code or markup language. It does this by coloring different elements of the code, such as keywords, variables, functions, and operators, based on a predefined set of rules.

The purpose of syntax highlighting is to make the code easier to read and understand, by drawing attention to the different elements and their structure. For example, keywords may be colored in a different hue to emphasize their importance, while comments or strings may be colored differently to distinguish them from the code itself. This helps to make the code more readable, reducing the cognitive load of the reader and making it easier to identify potential syntax errors.

How Can I Conduct a Plagiarism Check between Two Documents Online?

With our tool it’s easy, just enter or upload some text, click on the button “Compare text” and the tool will automatically display the diff between the two texts.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Text Compare Tool?

Using text comparison tools is much easier, more efficient, and more reliable than proofreading a piece of text by hand. Eliminate the risk of human error by using a tool to detect and display the text difference within seconds.

What Files Can You Inspect with This Text Compare Tool?

We have support for the file extensions .pdf, .docx, .odt, .doc and .txt. You can also enter your text or copy and paste text to compare.

Will My Data Be Shared?

There is never any data saved by the tool, when you hit “Upload” we are just scanning the text and pasting it into our text area so with our text compare tool, no data ever enters our servers.
