Zero GPT keeps saying content I personally wrote years ago is ‘AI-generated,’ sometimes marking up to 95% of it as AI. This content is unique and has been ranking #1 in my client’s city for a long time. I’m worried Google might flag it as spam and I could lose rankings.
It feels like I can’t win with these AI checkers—even on my own work, it keeps coming back as AI-written.
Anyone have any advice?
Those AI detection tools are just a scam, honestly.
Honestly, don’t bother paying for these AI checkers.
People have run all sorts of classic texts, even the Bible, through them, and they still flag it as AI. Students are even running their professors’ work through these tools after being accused, and the results can be hilarious.

Totally agree. As a developer, I can confirm there’s no real way to reliably detect AI-written content for text (though it works better with images or audio).
It’s funny—first, we post things online, then companies feed it to AI, and now we’re just trying not to get caught by detection filters. Sometimes rephrasing and adding more human touches can help, though.
Google doesn’t flag AI content just because it’s AI. It’s all about quality—AI has a habit of creating low-quality content if left unchecked.
Man, someone tested the U.S. Constitution on one of those AI detectors, and it flagged it as AI. I wouldn’t stress over this.
Every AI checker I’ve tried has been useless.
Some mark my human-written content as AI, while actual AI content sometimes comes back as ‘100% human.’ They’re just not reliable.
I run a business that posts high-quality content to WordPress, complete with infographics, and we test AI detectors regularly. Not a single one has been reliable, even the pricey ones like Originality. They’ll flag one paragraph as ‘definitely human’ and the next as ‘100% AI.’
Bottom line: create content that readers love. That’s all Google and its users care about.
Google only cares if content is spammy or low-quality, regardless of whether it’s AI-written. They’ve been clear on that.
Thanks for the advice, everyone. Guess I’ll just have to live with it.
It’s tough when AI detectors misclassify your work, especially after putting in so much time. Just remember, they’re not foolproof and can mistake specific patterns or phrases for AI.
Since your content is ranking well, here’s a tip: add personal touches, like anecdotes or unique insights, to make it clear it’s human. Updating high-ranking content occasionally can also help signal to Google that it’s actively managed.
As long as you follow quality guidelines, Google’s algorithms should continue to favor your content. Trust that your hard work will pay off.
AI detectors are pretty hit-or-miss. Even Turnitin’s detector isn’t great (my professor once ran my paper through it, and it flagged 83% as AI even though I didn’t use any). Out of all the detectors I’ve tried, ZeroGPT is the most unreliable. I’ve seen it flag original work as 100% AI while letting AI-generated content slip through with low scores.
If ZeroGPT says your work is high-AI, that might actually confirm it’s original. It’s probably the least accurate of all the detectors out there.
