What did the September 2026 detector run show?
Five detectors, one essay, five human verdicts. On 23 September 2026 we took a single HumanizeMyAI rewrite, a 353-word academic essay with APA-style citations, and pasted it into each detector's own interface. Nothing was edited between runs.
| Detector | Result, 23 Sep 2026 |
|---|---|
| GPTZero (model 4.10b) | Human 100%, AI 0% |
| Pangram | 100% human-written |
| Copyleaks | 0% AI, no AI content found |
| Grammarly AI Detector | 0% AI |
| Originality AI | Likely original (15% or less, the finest reading its free check gives) |
Not one of the five flagged the essay, and the two with a single headline number, GPTZero and Pangram, both landed at the top of the human end of the scale.
Where are the screenshots of each result?
Every row in the table comes from a screenshot taken during the run. We cropped each one to the verdict so the number is readable and nothing else from the session shows.





Why test an academic essay with citations?
Cited academic prose is the hardest case for a humanizer. Author names, years and technical terms cannot be rewritten without breaking the paper, so every one of them has to survive untouched while the sentences around them change. A rewrite that clears detectors by deleting references is useless to a student. The September essay kept its citations, and the verdicts above are for that version.
How does this compare with the August 2026 run?
The 31 August run used a different text, a 668-word academic essay, and a different detector set. Taken together, the two runs cover eight detectors and two unrelated essays.
| Detector | Result, 31 Aug 2026 |
|---|---|
| GPTZero | 0% AI |
| Turnitin | Human (no score shown under 20%) |
| Originality AI | Human (15% or less) |
| Copyleaks | 0% AI |
| QuillBot AI Detector | 0% AI |
| ZeroGPT | 0 to 3% AI |
GPTZero, Copyleaks and Originality AI appear in both runs and gave the same human reading a month apart, on different essays. That repeat is the part we care about: a result that holds across texts and dates is a property of the engine, not of one lucky paragraph.
What changed in HumanizeMyAI this month?
The engine behind these runs is the one live on the site today. No beta, no special mode, no waiting list. Anyone who pastes text into the humanizer on our homepage gets the same build that produced the screenshots above.
Two smaller changes shipped with it:
- One box for both tools. The homepage tool now has a Humanize tab and a Check my score tab. If a scan comes back AI or inconclusive, a Humanize this text button moves your text straight into the humanizer.
- Clearer plan labels. Paid members now see their plan name on the tool instead of a free-tier label.
How can you check your own text?
Run your draft through our free AI detector first, then humanize it and scan it again in whichever detector your school or client uses. Detector vendors update their models, so the right habit is to check the current version before anything important goes in, the same way we date every row on this page.
