Abstract

This paper introduces a simple JavaScript-based web application designed to assist educators in detecting AI-generated content in student essays and written assignments. Unlike existing AI detection tools that rely on obfuscated machine learning models, AIDetection.info employs a heuristic-based approach to identify common syntactic traces left by generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Gemini, Llama/Meta, Microsoft Copilot, Grammarly AI, and other text-generating models and wrapper applications. The tool scans documents in bulk for potential AI artifacts, as well as AI citations and acknowledgments, and provides a visual summary with downloadable Excel and CSV reports. This article details its methodology, functionalities, limitations, and applications within educational settings.
