Popularity of Cheating-Related AI Search Terms

Interest in the search terms "AI essay" and "ChatGPT essay" surfaced in Google shortly after ChatGPT was released in November 2022. Searches for "AI humanizer," software that purports to make AI-generated text sound like it was written by a human, reached its peak shortly before the end of the 2025 spring semester in April.

Google Trends' interest scores range from 0 to 100, with 100 representing the highest level of popularity among the charted data.
