Perplexity detector questions
Can this detect Perplexity text?+
It detects the style of machine-written text, which includes Perplexity's typical habits: summary-style paragraphs with numbered citation markers like [1][2]. We know of no published text watermark for Perplexity. Its answers are judged by style, and citation markers are the obvious tell.
How does the Perplexity detector work?+
It reads every sentence for the habits of chat-model writing: even rhythm, stock phrases, formal wording with few contractions, tidy lists of three and repeated openers. A deep scan adds a language-model review on top of the statistics.
How accurate is it?+
It gives a signal, not proof. Short text, translated text, heavily edited text and very formal human writing can be misread either way, so every result shows a confidence level. Never use one score to accuse someone of using AI.
Can it tell which AI model wrote the text?+
No. It estimates whether text reads as machine-written, not which company's model produced it. Model-specific marks, where they exist, need the provider's own key.
Is my text stored?+
Not by default. Text is only sent when you press Scan and is not stored, unless you choose to share a report (kept 30 days) or tick the box that shares it with us as feedback.
Why does it say low confidence?+
Under about 80 words there is too little to judge, and scores in the middle range are uncertain by nature. Paste more text, or read the highlighted sentences yourself.
