ChatGPT isn’t just another AI tool — it’s the one that kicked off the current wave of AI adoption. Everyone from students to professionals has either tried it, heard of it, or seen its fingerprints in emails, essays, and blog posts. At this point, it’s the gold standard of AI writing, and the baseline against which all other models are compared.
But that raises the obvious question: can detectors reliably flag ChatGPT’s work in 2025? The model has gotten smoother over time, better at breaking out of rigid structures, and closer to sounding like a person. If you’ve read content online recently, there’s a decent chance you’ve come across ChatGPT-generated text without even realizing it.
That’s where TruthScan comes in. Unlike one-off detection tools, TruthScan isn’t just built for text. It’s a full AI detection suite — spanning text, images, voice, video, and deepfakes — but its text detector remains one of the main selling points. The tool promises 99%+ accuracy with lightning-fast detection speeds, but can it really keep up with ChatGPT?
Let’s dig in.
What is TruthScan?
TruthScan is marketed as an enterprise-grade detection platform with six different tools bundled into one suite: text detection, image detection, video forensics, AI voice detection, email scam detection, and real-time monitoring. For text, it’s designed to quickly analyze a document, flag AI writing, and give a detailed confidence score.
It isn’t just about catching students using ChatGPT for essays — though it can certainly do that. It’s also about spotting AI text wherever it shows up: in contracts, research papers, business emails, and even social media posts. That broader context makes it more than just a consumer-facing tool.
What is ChatGPT?
By now, ChatGPT hardly needs an introduction. It’s OpenAI’s conversational AI, released in late 2022, and still one of the most widely used AI models in the world. It can write essays, debug code, generate creative text, and even explain complex concepts in simple terms.
The catch? It’s gotten better at mimicking human writing. What once sounded stiff and robotic in 2022 now feels much more natural. With varied sentence lengths, more casual phrasing, and better flow, ChatGPT’s text can slip past human intuition — especially if the reader isn’t actively looking for it.
This progress is great for usability but makes the job of AI detectors harder. Which is why testing TruthScan against ChatGPT is such an important benchmark.

What Now?
ChatGPT remains the most common AI text generator on the planet — which means being able to detect its output is a baseline requirement for any serious detection tool.
TruthScan handled that challenge well, scoring 89% correctness in my tests. That’s not flawless, but it’s solid considering how natural ChatGPT has become in 2025. For context, many detectors struggle to even cross the 70% line with ChatGPT’s newer outputs.
So while it isn’t hitting the near-perfect 99%+ rates TruthScan claims across its suite, 89% is still impressive for a model this polished. And when you factor in the platform’s broader capabilities — from deepfake video detection to AI voice scanning — it’s clear that TruthScan isn’t just another detector. It’s a full-scale security net.
Bottom line: TruthScan can catch ChatGPT’s writing at a high level of accuracy, even if not perfect, and still ranks among the most reliable tools available today.
