Question 1

Is DeepSeek easier to detect than ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes. DeepSeek produces more fluent and academic-sounding Chinese text, but this very over-standardization becomes a detection signal. In practice, DeepSeek outputs often score 5-15 percentage points higher in AIGC detection than equivalent ChatGPT outputs after rewriting.

Question 2

Can a thesis proposal written with DeepSeek pass AIGC detection?

Accepted Answer

Depends on your school requirements. If the proposal needs an AIGC report, deep human revision is recommended after generation, especially for research background and significance sections — these are where DeepSeek most easily produces overly general and perfect-sounding text lacking genuine academic discussion.

Question 3

Does translating DeepSeek content lower the AIGC rate?

Accepted Answer

Translation may slightly lower detection rates but should not be the primary method. Reasons: (1) Translation tone also has machine translation characteristics; (2) Translation loses accuracy of original academic expression; (3) Detection algorithms increasingly identify translation traces. Directly modifying the Chinese original structure and tone is more effective.

Question 4

Using DeepSeek to reduce similarity — will it increase AIGC rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DeepSeek rewriting itself is AI-generated content. If the original AIGC rate is already high, using DeepSeek for similarity reduction may increase rather than decrease AIGC rate. Recommendation: if original rate is below 40%, prioritize tool-based reduction; if above 40%, manually rewrite high-risk paragraphs first, then use tool for global processing.
