# Are AI detectors accurate?

They can point you in the right direction, but they are not reliable enough to trust on their own. The same text often scores differently across tools, and a small edit can move the number a lot. They also flag plenty of honest human writing by mistake. Use a score as one clue among several, never as final proof that a person did or didn't use AI.
