[HONEST] Is CoPilot Detectable by Winston AI?

As we all know it, Copilot gets pretty easily detected by Winston AI. However, is it the same for all AI tools out there? The short answer is YES — in this dataset, Copilot is largely detectable by Winston AI. The longer answer is the devil lies in the details. Keep reading to know more about it.

Why does Copilot get detected by Winston AI?

The simple answer is Winston AI is not made to be fooled by Copilot. You can see this on their website as well. They never advertise bypassing Copilot as a feature on their website or any marketing material that you come across. Hence, if they are not specifically made to let Copilot slip under the radar, they won’t.

Now, Winston AI uses a sophisticated algorithm which probably not only includes machine learning models trained on different kinds of text manipulation, it also might be using statistical analysis to find patterns in your text that point to AI writing. It examines writing style, vocabulary usage, and consistency to detect hidden signs of AI content.

The short statistical explanation

In simpler terms, Winston AI successfully identified 43 out of 50 Copilot texts as AI, which is called an 86% detection rate. This means if there are 50 Copilot samples, it caught 43 of them. On the human side, it falsely flagged 4 of 50 samples as AI, which is called an 8% false-positive rate. Overall, Winston AI’s correctness in matching the ground truth was 89%.

These numbers are not that complicated. Detection rate is simply how many times Winston AI correctly picks out Copilot content. False-positive rate is how many times Winston AI incorrectly tagged human writing as AI. Because Winston AI gave us a lot of correct tags in both categories, the total accuracy came up to 89%.

What do the charts show?

1. Bar Chart (labels by author): The bar chart basically shows most Copilot texts are labeled as AI (43) and most human texts are labeled as Human (46). The mislabels (7 Copilot→Human, 4 Human→AI) are visible as the smaller bars.
2. Score Distribution Histogram: Winston AI generates a numeric “AI Score.” In this sample, Copilot had an average score of about 14.9, and a median of 0.61, which is typically a low score. Human content, on the other hand, had a mean of around 88.5 with a median of 99.5, which is very high. The big gap explains why Winston AI was able to detect Copilot so well.
3. Boxplot (AI Score by author): If you visualize these scores in a boxplot, you will see a clear separation. That means Winston AI’s scoring is pretty good at telling Copilot text from Human text, with only a few outliers sprinkled around.

Which tool is specifically made to fool Winston AI?

Currently, there are many tools out there for rewriting text, but not all are purpose-built to bypass AI detectors like Winston AI. However, if Winston AI can detect Copilot with high accuracy then it is doubtful that any random rewriter tool can do the job with consistency. Only certain specialized AI humanizers might achieve this feat, but it is still not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is Winston AI detection reliable for Copilot?

Yes, Winston AI is quite reliable. It catches 86% of Copilot text in your dataset, and it only mislabeled 8% of human writing.

Q2. Why does Winston AI detect Copilot?

Because Winston AI is made to do so. It has machine learning models, stylometric analysis, and other ways of spotting AI patterns hidden in the text.

Q3. Does Winston AI have false-positives?

Yes, in this test it labeled 4 out of 50 human samples as AI. This is an 8% false-positive rate, so it’s not perfect.

Q4. What is the importance of AI Score?

It’s basically Winston AI’s confidence measure. If the score is high, Winston calls it “Human,” if it is low, Winston calls it “AI.” In our data, Copilot had an average near 14.9 and human text near 88.5.

The Bottom Line

Winston AI is a decent AI detector for Copilot-generated text because it not only identifies Copilot content 86% of the time, but it also presents scores that show a clear gap between Copilot and Human. However, it’s still not infallible with its 14% misses on Copilot and 8% false-positives on Human text. That’s pretty good, but not perfect, so if you absolutely need to bypass Winston then you should either write your work completely by yourself, or look for specialized paraphrasers made for this task. It might achieve the feat occasionally, but it probably won’t be consistent while bypassing Winston AI or any other sophisticated AI detector for that matter.
