As we all know it Quillbot gets pretty easily detected by Turnitin. However, is it the same with Originality AI? The simple answer is YES. The longer answer is that you must understand why it happens and how it works. Keep reading to know more about it.
Why Quillbot gets detected by Originality AI?
The short answer is just like any other paraphraser out there, Quillbot is not made to bypass AI detectors. You can see from their website that they never claim to help you “evade” or “slip past” AI detection systems. They focus more on rewriting sentences for improved fluency, better grammar, synonyms, etc.
When you use Quillbot, it often outputs text that is near-perfect English with no grammatical mistakes. Many AI detectors, including Originality AI, look for certain patterns like perfect grammar, consistent tone, and certain usage patterns of words. If a text appears “too perfect” or if the sentence structures follow a specific pattern of transformation, Originality AI can sniff it out and categorize it as AI-generated or AI-altered.
The other day, I tried to rewrite a short paragraph using Quillbot’s “Fluency” mode. Then I popped that text straight into Originality AI to see if it would pass as human-written. Surprise, surprise, Originality AI flagged it. It literally marked most lines as AI-generated. I tried tinkering with Quillbot’s “Creative” mode, but it still got detected. I guess that’s a big sign that Quillbot’s underlying paraphrasing technique is just not meant for bypassing AI detection. Although, you cannot draw any conclusion from personal experiences but thought it might help someone.
Which tool is actually made to bypass Originality AI?
There are a few rewriters that are specifically built for dodging AI detectors. You might have seen them around— Deceptioner. They typically advertise themselves as “AI detection bypass” tools. And guess what? Quillbot DOES NOT. It has an AI detector tool embedded in it, but the paraphraser itself is not designed to outsmart Originality AI.
Quillbot vs. Originality AI: The Perfect Grammar Problem
One of the reasons Quillbot is so easily detected is because it writes in perfect English. I mean, most people are not grammar Nazis 24/7 and might not notice those tiny errors you skip over. But AI detectors like Originality AI are extremely sensitive to patterns that come from Large Language Models. So that is why if it is not “tuned” to add random mistakes or odd sentence structures, it might get flagged.
Originality AI, on the other hand, uses advanced technology (like scanning for perplexity, burstiness, repetition patterns, etc.) to detect AI text. If you are simply rewriting your entire content with Quillbot, Originality AI would likely detect it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does Originality AI detect Quillbot?
Yes, it does. Because Quillbot is not built for AI detection bypassing, it is very likely to get flagged by Originality AI if you feed the paraphrased text directly.
Q2. Is using Quillbot plagiarism or is it okay?
Just using Quillbot is not immediately plagiarism. You can use it to fix grammar, summarize or reword your own original ideas. The problem arises if you are trying to hide borrowed content from somewhere else without proper citation. Then, Originality AI or any other AI detector can highlight big chunks as being AI-generated or suspicious.
Q3. How to avoid AI detection with Quillbot?
Quillbot is not meant to do that. If your main aim is to bypass AI detectors, you might have to look for dedicated rewriters that specifically claim to do that. But most teachers or clients simply want well-written text, so you can still use Quillbot ethically to refine your content.
Q4. Does Quillbot have its own AI detector?
Yes, Quillbot does have an AI-powered plagiarism checker in some of its plans. But that is separate from its rewriting engine. It’s not there to hide your text from Originality AI or Turnitin or anything else.
Q5. Do Originality AI or other detectors only rely on grammar mistakes?
Not really. Yes, perfect grammar and structure can raise the suspicion that a text is AI-generated, but they also check for repetitive phrases, unnatural transitions, and other signatures. Simply adding a few grammar mistakes may not fool them either.
The Bottom Line
Quillbot is and has always been marketed as a tool to improve sentence structure, fix grammar errors, or reword content for clarity - not to dodge AI detection. If you’re looking to bypass Originality AI, Quillbot might not be the answer. It’s that straightforward. But for day-to-day academic and professional writing tasks, Quillbot remains a handy writing assistant. Just remember, if Originality AI catches you, it’s because Quillbot was never built for fooling AI detectors in the first place.
