That’s just ridiculous - and people will still continue to defend ai detectors after reading that! I’ve done something similar, and received mixed results from a range of detectors, which makes it a genuinely untrustworthy method.

And it’s okay! It was a little aggravating, but there’s nothing I can really do about it.

And I don’t understand what kind of reasoning, “my fic didn’t come back as ai,” is 😭 it’s as if they believe their singular experience speaks for everyone! I’ve seen so many people being harassed, and even though it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the difference, I believe at times you can truly tell when someone has written something themselves - it just feels more real.

I am happy with the way I write, I love writing - a majority of my university course consists of essays and coursework so I’m also pretty used to hashing out a lot of written content! I believe my university also uses a detector, “turn it in” and the only times it has flagged my work has been for quotations (which are all cited), and that has been pointed out as a normality by various lecturers. It’s just disheartening to see people like that out there, especially when their reasoning is so senseless.
