We at Originality.AI are delighted to announce our new and improved Website Scanner feature!

With Google officially cracking down on the type of unhelpful, low-quality content often produced by artificial intelligence tools, it's never been more important to keep an eye on the amount of AI-generated content on your website.

Fortunately, our website scanning tool is loaded with useful features that can greatly reduce the time it takes to gain clarity and transparency on a website’s AI usage.

Short on time? Here are the key takeaways

  • AI-generated content ranking in their search results is a threat to the very existence of Google. Why would anyone use Google if it’s just going to give you the same answer as an LLM?
  • Since it has the potential to make the biggest search engine in the world obsolete, we anticipate intensified efforts from Google in the shape of more frequent updates aimed at penalizing AI-generated content
  • Want to safeguard your website against future Google penalties? The Originality.ai Website Scanner allows you to understand the amount of AI content on your website and see how it's impacting your traffic and search rankings.

Updated AI in Google SERPs Study

Our recent study on the prevalence of AI-generated content within Google's search results shows an interesting trend. Building upon our previous findings, where 10.2% of Google's top-rated content was suspected to be AI-generated, our latest research reveals a surge to 11.3% in just under a month!

So, despite Google's efforts to mitigate this trend, including measures such as the helpful content update and the March 2024 update targeting AI "spam," AI-generated content continues to rank on the SERPs.

This poses an existential threat to Google's search integrity, as it risks transforming helpful, human-written search results into little more than an echo chamber of popular language model outputs.

Why Our Findings Matter

At this point, you may be wondering: why should we care about what happens to Google? The company has lots of resources and experts on its side, so can't it take care of this problem itself?

Well, there's no doubt that it can - and it's the effects of this that can affect your website.

See, the rapid increase of AI-generated content in search results challenges the very essence of Google's purpose. Really, why would anyone bother going to Google when they could go straight to the source - a large language model, like ChatGPT? If Google leaves this unchecked, they could render themselves obsolete.

For that reason, we anticipate intensified efforts from Google to address this issue in the coming months. So, if your website contains a large amount of AI-generated content, or even just suspected AI content, you could be just one Google update away from some serious penalties.

What is the Originality.ai Website Scanner?

If you're looking to protect your search engine rankings and the traffic that goes along with it, then Originality.ai's website scanner is for you. Instead of going through each piece of content yourself, you can use this tool to gain a quick and easy understanding of how much AI content is currently detectable on your website.

Our website scanner was built as a monitoring tool where you can review your scan results and monitor the amount of AI use on a given webpage over time. You never know what they're going to come up with next, so regular scanning can help you mitigate the risk of getting any nasty surprises on the next Google update.

Besides, it's not only useful in preventing future AI-related penalties, but it can also help you better understand your current situation.

For example, let's say your website was hit hard by the recent Google helpful content update. You could use the website scanner to establish whether or not that was due to the presence of AI content on your site, and make changes accordingly.

And you aren't just limited to using it on your own website, either. Our website scanner also allows you to scan other websites for peace of mind, allowing you to gain complete transparency regarding the source of the content you are consuming.

Website Scanner Features

We’ve designed our website scanner to be both easy to use and comprehensive. Here are some of its key features:

Add New Websites with Ease: Simply add the domain to your list of website domains to start scanning.

Detailed Summaries of AI Content Presence: Receive a comprehensive summary of AI content presence on your website.

Dive Deep into Flagged Pages: Analyze flagged pages for deeper insights and make necessary adjustments.

Curious about what the process looks like? Let’s take a closer look at these features below.

Add New Website

Add New Website in Originality.ai Scanner

Before you can run website scans, you need to first add the domain to your list of websites.

To do this, fill out the form to check if a website can be added. If the website crawl is successful, you will be given the option to add the site.

New Website Adding Process in Originality.ai Scanner

You can then hit ‘Add Website’, and the Originality.ai Website Scanner will start crawling the website, identifying AI content where present, and giving you a site assessment fee.

Here’s an example:

Website Assesment Fee Onboarding

My Websites

Website Scanning Dashboard

Once accepted, the website scanner will get to work. After it completes the scan, it will provide you with a detailed summary of how much AI content is present and where it appears on that website.

You can then click into each page of the website to dive deeper into what is flagging as AI generated and what isn’t, such as this article on whether AI content detectors are accurate or not.

Originality.ai Website Scanner Results

This is a perfect example of the tool at work, as it shows a 60% confidence rating that this content is human-written.

Why was I happy with 60%? Well, while this article was 100% written by myself, it does also include specific AI-generated prompts and content. This is because I used them to test the various detectors, keeping with the subject of the article. Therefore, the 60% rating makes perfect sense.

If I wanted to improve my score here, though, I'd make any changes or tweaks to the sections that are being flagged as AI-generated, and hit 'Run Page Scan' to run the test again.

Who is the Web Scanner Designed For?

While the website scanner was certainly designed with website owners in mind, that doesn’t mean it can’t be an extremely useful tool for other people as well.

For example, if you have been tasked with providing your company or client with a full SEO audit, you may include a detailed website scan to highlight the impact AI-generated content is having on their search results.

There are also benefits to be had by content creators. You can use the scanner to verify the authenticity of your sources, and ensure that you're not referencing AI-generated text in your own content. AI hallucinations can cause some serious problems, so it's best to take steps to avoid them as much as possible.

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.

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.
