Guildbase uses AI-powered analysis to help identify potentially problematic applications. Learn how the detection system works and how to interpret the results.
What is AI Content Detection?
Our AI detection system automatically scans application responses to identify:
- AI-generated content — Responses written by ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools
- Copy-pasted templates — Generic responses used across multiple applications
- Suspicious patterns — Inconsistencies that may indicate low-effort applications

Risk Levels
Each application receives a risk level based on the AI analysis:
| Level | Indicator | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | Green badge | No significant concerns detected. Responses appear genuine. |
| Medium Risk | Yellow badge | Some flags detected. Review responses carefully. |
| High Risk | Red badge | Multiple concerns detected. Manual review strongly recommended. |
Important
AI detection is a tool to assist your review, not a replacement for human judgement. Always review flagged applications manually before making decisions.
Detection Flags
The system can identify several types of concerns:
AI-Generated Content
Responses show patterns consistent with large language models. May indicate the applicant used AI to write their answers.
Template Response
Response appears to be a generic template that could apply to any community, lacking specific details about your guild.
Suspiciously Fast
Application was completed unusually quickly for the amount of content provided, suggesting pre-written responses.
Inconsistent Tone
Writing style varies significantly between responses, which may indicate multiple sources or AI assistance.
Viewing Detection Details
Click on the risk badge in any application to view the full detection report. This includes:
- Overall risk score and confidence level
- Individual flags with explanations
- Specific responses that triggered flags
- Time-based analysis data
Enabling/Disabling AI Detection
AI detection can be toggled per guild:
- Go to your guild's Overview page
- Find the AI Content Detection toggle
- Click to enable or disable
Note
AI detection is enabled by default for all guilds. Disabling it will remove risk indicators from all applications.
Best Practices
Pro Tips
- • Use AI detection as a filter to prioritise which applications need closer review
- • Consider using the chat feature to ask follow-up questions on flagged applications
- • Remember that false positives can occur — some genuine applicants write formally
- • High-risk doesn't automatically mean reject — use your judgement
