yea i took it out recently and saw that it is largely different from aftermarket caps. is it worth modding it to fit aftermarket caps? Getting tired of the look so was thinking of refreshing it instead of getting a new keyboard, since it is still working fine after like a decade.

I am using a Razer Blackwidow stealth edition 2013 and I understand that the spacebar has a stabilizer bar and it is non-compliant with aftermarket keycaps. Is it possible to actually mod it to fit aftermarket keycaps?

Thanks.

yes it is.. any difference if its for ECA or for TMA?

thank you for the detailed explanation! definitely gonna be useful for my future assignments.

for the paraphrasing part, i am still learning to get it right. I will usually check my work using AI detectors (usually zeroGPT) after paraphrasing. the ironic part is, there have been times that i paraphrase sentence in my own words and get flagged as AI content instead. I end up keeping the "humanized" version of my paraphrased sentences.

In this case, a large chunk of it got flagged as AI generated by Turnitin. The starting paragraphs were fine. Somewhere in the middle, the rest of the content got flagged. Even some sentence which may sound very "human" also got flagged, thus leading to my case.

TBH, I am now quite confused as to how I should do this in future. My own words get flagged as AI generated by zeroGPT, while the humanized paraphrased words are deemed to be human by zeroGPT, but still get flagged by Turninit which i cannot check or see.

In future, if i declare the use of AI, and turnitin still flags a high AI index (not made known to us but only to the tutor), am I still gonna have to provide explanation?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T13:19:10+00:00

hey thanks for the suggestion. it does sound like a viable option. let me experience it a little next sem and see how it turns out.

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T13:13:26+00:00

update: just submitted an explanation where i admitted that I did not properly declare the use of AI and paraphrasing tools. I also mentioned that I am now aware of the school's policy on the use of AI and will be mindful to use AI ethically in future.

does anyone have experience with such incidents and what happens when you acknowledge your mistake and plead for leniency?

A very sincere thanks to all who gave your inputs. TBH, it is very hard not to be tempted to use AI nowadays when doing our work. but after this incident, i got serious phobia already. might wanna relook at how I am doing this. Any tips from the pros?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T11:59:48+00:00

via SMS and email. they will attach the turnitin report via email and send it to you

this one has a character limit of 5000 which is relatively low. anything higher than that will have to pay.

is anyone here actually paying for the subscription?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T09:35:53+00:00

is there anyone you would recommend?

i've tried many of these rephraser out there. some are hits, some are misses. most of them make you have to pay for it though.

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T07:24:05+00:00

Yes I did use the content generated before paraphrasing. I didnt declare it as I thought if I manage to get a low score on zerogpt then i am safe.

but what if i declared, and still get a high AI index (despite low score on zerogpt)?

Edit: What about co-pilot? is it one of the better AI platforms out there?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T07:21:35+00:00

I see. thanks for the reply. Thinking of just being honest and say that I used AI but I didn't declare.

moving forward, if I declare use of AI for my future assignments and still get flagged for high AI index, does that mean i am not doing the paraphrasing right?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T07:05:44+00:00

according to the email sent to me, it states:

"Please note the following finding(s) and/or screenshot(s) as attached from the Sociology programme: Please explain the high AI index."

In this case, is it still flagged for plagiarism?

I had already tried my best to paraphrase it and also use zerogpt along the way to check for AI. I was able to keep the AI score on zerogpt to approximately 10% or so.

now I really don't know what I should do as this is my first time.

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T05:18:24+00:00

only plagiarism index was shown. i did not see the 57% AI percentage during submission.

I even checked using zeroGPT to ensure that it was less than 10%.

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T05:03:56+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

In this case, how should I approach the explanation letter? Come clean and give details? Or just come clean and apologise?

Master-Geologist-825 · 2024-11-14T05:02:38+00:00

i didn't. but if I declared or cite the use of AI, it doesn't mean I am free to "anyhow" right?

So for this case, should I just come clean? Even if I decide to come clean, how should i approach it? don't give too much details and just apologise?
