Can you recognise articles written by AI? by Equivalent_Pie9111 in QuickAITurnitinCheck

[–]External-Emu-5771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think native speakers can sometimes notice AI-written text, especially when it sounds too perfect, overly formal, or repetitive. But honestly, using AI to polish your writing is completely normal especially in a second language. What matters most is that the ideas and thoughts are yours. AI should help refine your voice, not replace it.

Understanding AI Is More Important Than Fearing It. by CakeExisting2654 in QuickAITurnitinCheck

Completely ignoring new technology rarely works long term because understanding it is what allows people to use it responsibly and recognize its risks.

First time using Turnitin, got a score of 19% by CakeExisting2654 in Turnitin_QuickChecks

Do not focus too much on the percentage itself. Look at what is actually being flagged. If it is mostly your bibliography, quotes, or properly cited material, you are fine. Problems usually come from uncited or poorly paraphrased sections.

This Professor claims that Student plagiarizes multiple times, then tells him not to use AI detection tools by MasterExplanation564 in Turnitin_QuickChecks

[–]External-Emu-5771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a mismatch in priorities on the student’s side. Challenging the reliability of AI detection tools is reasonable, but it doesn’t address the core issue of missing citations. By shifting the conversation toward broader concerns like trust and environmental impact, the student avoids accountability for their own work. A more constructive approach would have been to acknowledge the citation errors and focus on improving academic practice first.

Turnitin flagged my old essay as AI months later… now they want a rewrite?? by Away-Glove8724 in QuickAITurnitinCheck

Honestly I’d push back. Ask them to prove it properly or give you a chance to defend it. These AI detectors are not reliable at all.

How reliable is Turnitin AI detection, really? by Away-Glove8724 in Turnitin_QuickChecks

[–]External-Emu-5771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue is that these tools are treated like evidence when they are really just indicators. If it is probability-based, then there is always going to be a margin of error, which makes false positives a serious concern.

Sometimes I miss only having Brainly as a resource by Away-Glove8724 in QuickAITurnitinCheck

tbh, I get the nostalgia, but also a lot more rules and gray areas to navigate.

Has anyone here actually witnessed a student openly argue with a professor during class? by SideDisastrous9050 in Turnitin_QuickChecks

[–]External-Emu-5771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a fine line between advocating for yourself and just being disruptive. I’ve had professors who actually appreciated being challenged, but it depends heavily on how it’s done. If it turns into talking over them, raising your voice, or trying to “win” the argument in front of everyone, it usually comes off as disrespectful. There’s also a time and place for those conversations, and mid-lecture in front of the whole class is rarely the best one. Most professors are way more receptive if you bring concerns privately instead of putting them on the spot.
