If you’re using AI tools like ChatGPT in your writing process, or if you’re working with copied material for research or reference, plagiarism is a real risk. The good news? You can detect and clean it up in just a few steps—without getting flagged by AI detectors.
Step 1: Grab a Sample Passage
For this demo, we’ll start by copying a paragraph directly from the internet. In my case, I pulled a section from Facebook’s Wikipedia page. You can use any text you think might be copied or problematic.
Step 2: Ask ChatGPT to Check for Plagiarism
Paste the following prompt into ChatGPT and then paste your copied content right below the prompt and hit enter.
ChatGPT will analyze the text and return a table showing which sentences are direct matches, along with source links. In our case, it flagged content copied from Wikipedia—exactly what we expected.
Step 3: Don’t Ask ChatGPT to Paraphrase
Your first instinct might be to type: “Can you paraphrase this?” But don’t do it. Paraphrased content from ChatGPT often gets flagged by AI detectors—because it still sounds like it was written by a machine. It may pass a plagiarism checker, but it won’t pass an AI detection tool.
Step 4: Use WordPotter’s Humanizer Instead
Now for the smart move: Instead, always use WordPotter to rewrite your text. WordPotter humanizes the content while keeping the original meaning and tone. Then, Drop the humanized version into the AI detector—score: 0.
Step 5: Check The Plagiarism Scores Again
Back into ChatGPT with the same plagiarism prompt — and you’ll see no matches. Mission accomplished. Your content is now plagiarism-free, AI-safe, and still faithful to the original message.
