Why Claude is harder to detect
Claude writes differently than ChatGPT:
- Higher natural perplexity — Claude uses more varied vocabulary
- More sentence variation — Claude naturally produces more burstiness
- Less formulaic structure — Claude avoids the "intro-body-conclusion" template
- Fewer hedging phrases — Claude doesn't overuse "it's important to note"
These differences make Claude harder for detectors trained primarily on ChatGPT.
