Ever since LLM-based models have arrived on the scene, creating written material has become easier. As a matter of fact, everyone considered becoming a blogger or content writer in the early days of generative AI. But popular search engines, like Google, prevented that with its core March 2024 update.
Research shows that hundreds of websites got deindexed after the core March 2024 update due to AI-generated spam and unhelpful content. So, ever since then, people have started using AI text detectors to verify their content for complete human originality before publishing. However, many new entrants still don’t know the best tools to help differentiate AI text from human-written content. If you are one of them, this article is for you.
Here, we’ll review the 5 best AI detector tools of 2024 so far. We’ve selected the utilities for this list based on our personal experience with each tool. So, let’s discover the top five AI content detectors that stand out from the rest.
QuillBot
Many people know QuillBot for its renowned content-revamping capabilities. However, QuillBot recently introduced a high-end AI detector, which quickly made its impact on the market.

It provides a detailed report that classifies the result into different sections: entirely AI-based, AI-generated and paraphrased, human-written and paraphrased, and completely human-based.
Our testing shows that it works for all types of content, be it blog posts, research papers, or other written materials.
Some Cons
There is no option to save the generated reports.
Copyleaks
When it comes to differentiating human-written and AI-generated text, Copyleaks is not far behind QuillBot. This web utility also uses state-of-the-art technologies to spot the patterns of human-written and AI-generated text.

There is no apparent word count restriction here, which means you can use it to check AI patterns in lengthy chunks of text.
Some Drawbacks
Although it is straightforward, its UI is not as clean as QuillBot.
You can only copy-paste the text, as there is no option for file uploading.
GrammarChecker.com
The AI text detector by GrammarChecker.com is another visually rich tool that integrates sophisticated algorithms to verify the origin of content. Whether you want to check the traces of AI in a 50 or 2000-word text, we’ve found this tool to be the most efficient during our testing. In addition to the popular LLM-based chatbots, we tested this utility with Claude, Bing, and ChatSonic content, and the tool worked precisely.

Some Cons
If extension integration had been available, this tool would have been the best of all.
ZeroGPT
As the name indicates, ZeroGPT is another famous name in the world of AI detectors. This online tool uses DeepAnalyse technology to spot micro and macro traces of generative AI content. That is why people often regard this web utility as one of the toughest to bypass. Like the tools mentioned above, this one also operates by highlighting the AI-based section in the uploaded text.
Features and Associated Advantages
This tool is the only option in this list that allows downloading the generated AI-scan report.
