My university uses AI detectors when marking papers, and almost any result higher than 0% can cause lost grades. As anyone whose used one of these tools will know, they have an extremely high false positive rate, meaning that while I don’t use AI (and can’t, given the technical nature of the papers) I still lose marks. Is there any way to decrease the rate of false positives without completely destroying the structure and flow of a paper?
You could ask your tutors what you can do to ease their conscience in regards to AI use. If they don’t have suggested protocols or don’t take that as an indicator of your honesty, they’re just fucking punishing you for nothing
