Three books on writing with AI and living with the tools that check it. Each one reads in full on this site, as a book or straight through, with no email form and nothing to unlock. Written by Dipak Bhosale, who runs TextSight.
Writing with AI without losing your voice
Why detectors flag people who wrote every word themselves, what "sounds like AI" means line by line, and a twelve minute edit that puts you back on the page.

Free to readHow AI invents citations, and how to check every one
Models do not look sources up, they predict them. The three shapes a fake reference takes, and the database method that settles any citation in about a minute.

Free to readWhat AI detectors get wrong about writing that started in another language
Careful English reads as predictable English, and predictable is what these systems punish. What Turnitin actually catches, and how to make a translation sound like a person.

Free to readAll three are free to read, free to print, and free to share whole and unchanged. Teachers, writing centres, librarians and student groups: please link or hand them out, no permission needed. If you would rather start with the tool than the reading, the AI detector is free too.
Every chapter of all three books is on this site. Nothing is held back for an email address, and there is no paid edition. If you only want one, the first line of each list below is usually enough to tell.
Start here if something you wrote got flagged.
Start here if you have to stand behind a bibliography.
Start here if you draft in one language and submit in English.
The three overlap on purpose. A flagged paragraph, an invented source and a stiff translation are three faces of the same thing: text that is easy to predict. Each book takes one of them and works it all the way through.
Every one of these books ends up at the same exercise: scan something you wrote, look at which sentences get marked, and fix those rather than chasing the score. It costs nothing to try it once.
