How does an AI detector work? What is it looking for? I mean, if you write a factual paper and the facts are out there on the internet, is it going to assume you pulled them from the internet using AI? Does it tell you which parts of your paper contain the alleged AI content?
Not knowing the content of your paper, could you use phrasing to indicate that those bits are your opinion or somehow indicate a personal connection? Would that throw off the detector? My experience with AI is a bit limited, but it appears to summarize and generalize a lot, so taking the phrasing in the opposite direction might help. Just a guess on my part . . .
I've tried funnelling it through QuillBot, a paraphraser that can make you sound more academic, casual, short, elongated, etc, but it just makes the AI detector go berserk! I've primarily tried re-writing the dodgy paragraphs, to no avail...
THEY'RE SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE!!!Let me ask you, Neapolitan, are you dreaming about unicorns?
I wouldn’t use additional software at this point, because the wording the software is coming up with may be just the type of wording the AI detector is looking for. Go back and rewrite a section in your own words as it was before you started the editing process (or if you still have a copy of your original draft, start there) and run the detector to see if it makes a difference. My guess is that the paper has been run through so many software programs to check it that it has taken a lot of “you” out of the paper and that is what the detector is picking up on. Good luck!
Thanks, @fla4fun! Makes a lot of sense!
