[[Burstiness]] or text burstiness refers to the pattern of sentence length in written text. Humans tend to write in a bursty fashion with short and long sentences interspersed, while machines tend to write uniformly with mostly sentences of the same length. [[GPTZero]] primarily detects this difference. To measure text burstiness, one looks at the probability distribution of sentence length. A neat, uniform probability distribution indicates a computer-generated text, while a messy, inconsistent distribution suggests human writing.

Writing content with high burstiness, along with high [[perplexity]], is the main method to avoid being flagged as [[AI content generation|AI generated content]] by [[AI content detectors]] like [[Originality.AI]] and [[GPTZero]].

==Explain like I'm 5 (ELI5)==
Burstiness is like when you talk a lot at once and then become quiet for a while. It's how humans naturally write and express ourselves. So when we talk continuously at the exact same pace for a long time, [[AI content detectors]] will think that we are robots.
