Can Safeassign Detect ChatGPT? Detailed Explanation

SafeAssign is a popular plagiarism detection tool. Many people consider whether this tool can identify plagiarism in the content created by ChatGPT. Unluckily, the answer is no. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation to clarify why it cannot identify content generated by ChatGPT. 

Can ChatGPT Be Detected By Safeassign? 

The answer is no, Safeassign can not detect ChatGPT. Its basic function is not suitable and can not detect various text created by AI content. Here is a detailed explanation to help you understand clearly. 

Nowadays, many universities use tools like Turnitin or SafeAssign to check them. Furthermore, Open AI is also creating features to detect plagiarism in AI-generated content.

However, with SafeAssign, this checking tool is normally used to detect and compare whether a student has submitted original content. So it won’t be able to detect whether the content is written by AI or not.

Furthermore, ChatGPT has the ability to generate various types of texts based on a given topic. Thus, it will be extremely difficult for a writer to determine the originality of the content using SafeAssign.

AI-Generated Content  

Why Is SafeAssign Unable to Find ChatGPT? 

GPT system uses AI to understand and imitate human-made text. In addition, it also copies and pastes data information, presenting content in a completely new form thanks to its understanding of languages and contexts.

Besides, ChatGPT can generate content in a variety of styles, from academic articles to blog posts or everyday conversations. With these capabilities, it becomes a challenge to detect plagiarism in articles written with the support of ChatGPT.

However, SafeAssign only compares content to the original material. This includes scientific proposals, web pages, or student papers. It then scans and flags content as plagiarized if it matches or closely resembles these sources.

Based on the above analysis, ChatGPT has the ability to create unique content on the same topic, meanwhile, SafeAssign is designed to identify verbatim duplicates. Therefore, this tool struggles to detect plagiarism in content written by ChatGPT.
