Jon Gillham: Inside the Tech That Detects AI Before You Hit Publish
Manage episode 489221909 series 3501228
About Jon Gillham: Jonathan Gillham is the Founder and CEO of Originality.AI, a cutting-edge AI detection and plagiarism checking platform built for serious web publishers. With over a decade of experience in SEO and content marketing, he previously founded and sold two content marketing agencies and co-founded MotionInvest.com, a leading marketplace for buying and selling content websites. Having adopted generative AI early in his agency work, Jonathan recognized both the potential and risks of AI-generated content long before ChatGPT’s rise. His mission with Originality.AI is to give publishers the tools and transparency they need to decide when and how to use AI in their content strategy.
In this episode, Ted and Jon Gillham discuss:
- Content authenticity in the age of generative AI
- AI’s growing influence on digital marketing operations
- Challenges of detecting AI-generated content at scale
- Evolving standards for originality and trust on the web
Key Takeaways:
- Originality.AI was built in-house from the ground up with its custom-trained detection model before ChatGPT even launched, outperforming early alternatives by training on massive datasets of human and AI content to differentiate the two with a high degree of precision.
- While the tool boasts a 99 percent accuracy rate in identifying AI-generated content, its 2 percent false positive rate means that relying on it for academic disciplinary decisions can be risky, especially at scale, where thousands of student submissions could generate a significant number of false flags.
- To avoid client mistrust, poor content quality, and even total Google deindexing, agencies and marketing teams should treat AI detection, plagiarism screening, and content verification as standard operating procedures before anything gets published.
- Agencies working with outsourced or freelance writers must set clear policies around AI usage and use detection tools like Originality.AI not just to enforce those guidelines, but to maintain pricing fairness, content credibility, and editorial integrity across all deliverables.
"Not all AI content is spam, but nobody is spamming the internet without the help of AI right now." — Jon Gillham
