The detection engine combines five complementary local heuristic methods (statistical, linguistic, structural, vocabulary, repetition) to estimate the probability that a piece of text was generated by AI. #### Features * Five-method local detection engine — no external service required * Authenticity badges (human / AI / mixed) on posts * Public `/authenticity` page — standalone “Verified Human Content” page on your domain, plus an embeddable trust badge other sites can drop in * AI scraper defense — blocks 22 known AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider…) via robots.txt * 4-step Get Started onboarding wizard with live progress tracking * Manual content declaration meta box (author can declare “human”, “AI” or “auto- detect”) * Admin detector page — paste any text and analyse it * Dashboard with content inventory and scan history * EU AI Act transparency dashboard (informational checklist + downloadable HTML report) * Multilingual detection dictionaries (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese) * REST API under the `ai-explainer-pro/v1` namespace * WordPress dashboard widget with content overview #### Detection methods 1. Statistical — sentence-length variance (burstiness), entropy, average length 2. Linguistic — transition words, formal vocabulary, hedging phrases, personal pronouns 3. Structural — paragraph uniformity, list/heading patterns, topic-sentence formulas 4. Vocabulary — Guiraud index, hapax-legomena ratio, word-length distribution 5. Repetition — repeated bigrams and sentence-opening patterns Each method produces a 0-1 score. Scores are combined into a weighted ensemble. #### REST API Endpoints under `ai-explainer-pro/v1` (all require `manage_options`): * `POST /detect` — analyse arbitrary text * `POST /scan-post` — scan a specific post by ID * `POST /bulk-scan` — batch scan with offset/limit * `GET /stats` — overall detection statistics * `GET /compliance` — EU AI Act transparency data * `GET /post-status/{id}` — detection status for a post #### Important disclaimer Local heuristic detection produces directional indicators. It works well for clearly AI-generated or clearly human text, but edge cases exist. Results vary depending on content type, length and language. The EU AI Act transparency dashboard is informational only and does **not** constitute legal advice — consult a qualified legal professional for any compliance question. #### Paid add-on (sold separately, hosted off-site) A separate paid version is available at https://aiexplainerpro.noveralis.com. It is sold and downloaded from the developer’s own website and is **not bundled with this plugin**. Every feature listed above works in this plugin without the paid add-on. ### External services This free plugin (the version hosted on WordPress.org) does **not** call any external service. All detection is performed locally on your server. The optional paid add-on is sold and hosted off-site at https://aiexplainerpro.noveralis. com. It is a separate plugin and its external service calls are documented on the developer’s website. Nothing the paid add-on does affects the free plugin’s behaviour. ### Privacy **Stored locally:** * Detection scores (post meta) * Scan history (custom database table) * Plugin settings (WordPress options) **Not collected:** * No visitor tracking, no cookies, no analytics **External calls:** none, in the version distributed on WordPress.org. See the “ External services” section for the optional paid add-on. **Uninstall:** removing the plugin clears all options, post meta, custom tables and transients. ## Installation #### Automatic installation 1.

Choose where badges are displayed (posts, pages, home, archives) 3. Adjust the detection threshold 4. Pick a badge template ## FAQ ### How does detection work? Five complementary local heuristic methods (statistical, linguistic, structural, vocabulary, repetition) each produce a 0-1 score. Scores are combined into a weighted ensemble. ### How accurate is the detection? Accuracy depends on content length, type and language. Longer texts (200+ words) produce more reliable results. We do not advertise a specific accuracy figure because it would vary too much across content types. ### Does this slow down my website? No. Detection runs only during admin-initiated scans. Badge display reads cached post meta — that is instant. ### What data is sent externally? Nothing, by default. All analysis runs locally on your server. The optional paid add-on can be configured by the user to call OpenAI; that is documented in the “ External services” section above. ### Is this GDPR friendly? The plugin does not set cookies, does not track visitors, and stores all data in your own WordPress database. ### Can I customize the badges? Yes — choose between three templates (modern, pill, minimal), set the position ( top, bottom, both), and toggle which badge types appear. ### Which languages are supported? Detection dictionaries cover English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. Developers can extend them via filters (`ai_explainer_pro_transition_words`, `ai_explainer_pro_formal_words`,` ai_explainer_pro_hedging_phrases`). ### Is there a REST API? Yes. Six endpoints under the `ai-explainer-pro/v1` namespace. All require `manage_options`. See the Description tab for the list. ### What about the EU AI Act? The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) introduces transparency obligations for AI- generated content. The plugin’s transparency dashboard offers an informational checklist and a downloadable HTML report to support your own compliance review. It is **not** legal advice. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AI Explainer” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
