AI content detection
Detectors try to guess if text was written by a model. They are shaky. Using them as a GEO quality bar is a mistake.
Humans care if the page is wrong or empty. Models care if it is useful and corroborated. A detector score is neither.
Ironic twist: detectors flag stiff “expert” copy — including some human SEO writing.
Examples
- A team rewrites with a “humanizer” until a detector is happy and the page loses all the numbers that were worth citing.
