I saw this got flagged and vouched for it. People may think it's an ad (and it is a bit) but I think the existence of such tools is interesting and worth discussing.

I'm not surprised it's possible to beat algorithmic detection and of course it's an arms race that will go on. I don't really belive in the concept of turnitin etc and if you treat people so impersonally it shouldn't be a surprise that they look for ways to get around it.

In context, it's usually very easy to read something (I'm thinking of students writing) and know if they wrote it or not.

It's an ad from a several minute old account for a service designed to help people commit academic fraud and even has an affiliate program. I don't think it deserves the attention.

Any examples of text generated with it? I'd like to see if it sounds more human and less bot-like than e.g. ChatGPT

I'd also like to see how it compares to just telling chatgpt to "paraphrase the following as if written by a human: [your paragraph, essay, etc]"

Happy for your success though. You saw demand in the marketplace and you capitalized on the opportunity! Wish I had the same initiative.
