Does Originality AI detects Perplexity AI?

Can Originality AI detect Perplexity AI? The short answer is yes. Just like Quillbot doesn't bypasses Originality AI, Perplexity is also not made to do that and so it won't be able to do it. 

Why Perplexity AI gets detected by Originality AI?

The simple answer is just like any other AI model, Perplexity AI is not specifically made to bypass AI detectors. You can see this on their website as well. They never advertise bypassing AI detectors like Originality AI as a feature on their site or anywhere else. Hence, if it is not made to do that, it simply will not be able to achieve it consistently.

Perplexity AI is designed to scan the web in real-time and provide a quick, research-backed answer to your questions. It sources information from various articles, journals, and live updates, then cites these sources with footnotes. This is fantastic from a research perspective, but not from an AI detection-bypassing perspective. It is not at all meant to bypass AI detectors.

Contrary to popular belief, the new Originality AI (version 3.9.5) is much less sensitive than before, which results in fewer false-positives. However, Perplexity AI still shows up as AI-generated text whenever you run it through Originality AI. If you continue using Perplexity AI outputs as is, it might trigger Originality AI’s detection algorithm. That said, many times people have reported that Originality AI missed certain parts of the text if they do minor manual tweaking. But it is not guaranteed.

Comparison of Perplexity AI & Originality AI                                                          

How does Perplexity AI work?  

Perplexity AI basically does the following four steps:

1. Understands your query.  
2. Searches the web for authoritative sources.  
3. Summarizes the findings in a neat, coherent manner.  
4. Provides you with footnotes or links to where it got the information.  

It’s super helpful when you want short, succinct answers and you do not have hours to read articles in detail.

How does Originality AI work?  

Originality AI is a detection software that uses advanced Transformer-based models. It was initially trained on hundreds of gigabytes of data that includes both human-written and AI-produced text.

1. Input: You paste your text into Originality AI.  
2. Processing: Their AI model analyzes text structures, grammar, style, and even advanced stylometric features.  
3. Scoring: It gives you a probability score that indicates how likely the text is AI-generated.  
4. Threshold: If the score crosses a certain limit (like 0.5), it flags it as AI-generated.  

Because it’s specifically created to detect texts from GPT-based models (and a wide array of other generative models), it has a great chance of correctly identifying Perplexity AI’s output.

My personal experience  

I have personally used Perplexity AI for quick insights, and it does an amazing job in retrieving references from across the internet. However, it doesn’t have any magic trick to escape detection from Originality AI. On the flip side, Originality AI’s recent update (version 3.9.5) seems to produce less false-positives. Many AI written texts can now slip through it, but it doesn’t mean Perplexity AI’s text will reliably pass it every time.  

If you want to bypass Originality AI detection, then you need a service that is specifically built for this task. From my experience, many people use rewriters or specialized AI text humanizers that focus on paraphrasing. Our Originality AI mode at Deceptioner is generally good at bypassing it, but that is because it’s specifically optimized for that purpose.

Reasons why Perplexity AI often fails Originality AI detection  

• It uses advanced GPT-based models that produce text with typically low burstiness (making it suspicious).  
• It maintains perfect grammar and structure, which many AI detectors see as a giveaway.  
• It doesn’t randomize grammar or include purposeful mistakes.  
• It’s simply not created with the intention to hide from AI detectors.  

Frequently Asked Questions  

Q1. Can Originality AI detect Perplexity AI’s text 100% of the time?  

Originality AI claims over 98%–99% accuracy, so it is highly likely that it will detect Perplexity AI’s text, but 100% success isn’t guaranteed.  

Q2. Is Perplexity AI primarily about bypassing AI detection?  

No, it is mainly about providing research-backed concise answers. It never advertised any detection-bypassing feature.  

Q3. Is it plagiarism to use Perplexity AI’s answers?  

Not necessarily. Since it cites sources, you can respect those references and include them properly in your work. However, if you’re trying to pass AI-generated text as human-written, that might be an issue at your institution.  

Q4. How do I avoid Originality AI detection if I really need to?  

Your best bet is using tools that are made to bypass AI detectors, or rewriting the text manually with strategic changes to style, structure, vocabulary, etc.  

Q5. Is Originality AI accurate enough?  

Yes, it is very accurate now, but it still has occasional false-positives. Their lifetime upgrades have consistently made it better. 

The Bottom Line  

Perplexity AI excels at delivering timely, well-structured, and referenced information to users. However, if your goal is to fool Originality AI, Perplexity AI is not going to help you. You can get lucky sometimes, but it just does not have the specialized approach that’s needed to avoid detection completely.

If you want to keep using Perplexity AI for gathering insights, go ahead - it’s fantastic for that. But if you want to ensure your text doesn’t get flagged by an AI detector, you might have to either rewrite it in a uniquely human style or use a dedicated AI text humanizer like Deceptioner or other specialized rewriters out there.  

All in all, Perplexity AI is great for immediate answers, while Originality AI is good at detecting them. They are somewhat opposite ends of the same AI spectrum.
