As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly check if your website content was generated by AI.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

If this goes wrong: you label human-written copy as AI-generated or rewrite useful content without establishing where it came from.

The distant thirdA chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.
How to actually do it
- Open the page containing the website copy and paste the complete text into a plain document, including headings, calls to action and product claims.
- Gather any available drafting evidence, such as version history, content briefs, author notes, source links and publication dates, without treating missing evidence as proof of AI use.
- Paste the content into a chatbot with the supplied prompt and ask it to assess only the text you provide.
- Copy the response into your working document and mark each alleged AI signal against the exact sentence or paragraph it refers to.
- Compare the marked signals with the drafting evidence and ask the original writer or responsible colleague how the content was produced.
- Decide whether to keep, edit or replace the copy only after separating evidence about authorship from ordinary quality and SEO checks.
Prompt
Assess the website content below for signs that it may have been generated or heavily assisted by AI. Do not claim to identify its authorship and do not give a percentage probability. Separate observable features from speculation. Examine repeated phrasing, generic claims, unusual structure, lack of specific evidence, factual inconsistencies and wording that may sound templated. Explain which features could also occur in careful human writing. End with three sections: 'What the text shows', 'What it cannot establish', and 'What evidence to check next'. Do not recommend accusing or penalising any writer based on this assessment alone. Content: [PASTE WEBSITE CONTENT HERE]
Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
What it gets wrong
- AI cannot prove who wrote a passage from the passage alone.
- AI cannot reliably distinguish generic human writing from AI-assisted writing when both use similar patterns.
- AI cannot recover deleted version history, private prompts or the identity of an undisclosed contributor.
- AI cannot decide whether a suspected use of AI breaches your employment, commissioning or editorial rules.
- AI cannot carry the consequences of accusing a writer or removing content on weak evidence.
What caps this at PARTLY: verification cost, judgement under ambiguity and stakes of error.
How we scored this
Five axes, each scored nought to two by hand: ten means AI carries the task cleanly, and the thresholds that turn a total into YES, PARTLY or NO are published in the methodology. Each axis name links to its definition.
| Axis | Score (0–2) |
|---|---|
| Output | 1 |
| Inputs | 2 |
| Verification | 1 |
| Liability | 1 |
| Effort delta | 1 |
| Total | 6 / 10 |

FAQ
- Can AI tell if website content was written by AI?
- It can identify patterns that sometimes appear in AI-assisted writing, but it cannot prove authorship. Treat the result as a prompt to check version history, briefs and the writer's account.
- Are AI content detectors accurate?
- They are not a reliable proof of origin because human and AI writing can share the same features. A detector result should not be the sole reason to accuse a writer or reject a page.
- How do I check if my website content is AI-generated?
- Paste the complete copy into a chatbot for a feature-based assessment, then compare its observations with version history, source material and the drafting process. The strongest evidence is a documented account of how the copy was produced, not a score from a detector.
- Will Google penalise AI-generated website content?
- AI involvement alone does not establish whether a page is useful, accurate or suitable for search. Check the copy for originality, factual support, clear authorship and value to the reader rather than relying on an AI-origin judgement.
