AI Homework Checker

No AI detection tool is 100% accurate. Even OpenAI discontinued their detector due to low accuracy (26%). This tool identifies potential signs, but shouldn't be used to definitively accuse your child. Use it to start conversations, not as evidence.

Potential signs include: writing that's unusually polished for their grade level, generic phrasing without personal voice, perfect structure with no rough edges, vocabulary inconsistent with how they normally write, and content that lacks specific personal examples or insights.

It depends on the assignment and how AI is used. Using AI to explain concepts, brainstorm ideas, or check grammar is often acceptable. Having AI write the assignment is typically cheating. The key is whether the student is learning and doing their own thinking.

Approach it with curiosity, not accusation. Ask about their process: 'Walk me through how you wrote this.' Discuss what they learned. Explain why doing their own work matters for learning. Set clear family expectations about AI use, and help them understand appropriate vs. inappropriate uses.
