I'm curious about the effectiveness of AI detectors in academic settings, particularly those used by universities. I've heard mixed reports about their accuracy. Some people have faced flags for their own original work, while others who have heavily relied on AI haven't been flagged at all. It's quite puzzling! I'm also intrigued by how these detectors differentiate AI text from human writing, especially since everyone's style is unique. How do they even identify something as AI-generated if writing styles vary so much?

I recently submitted my term paper, and it got flagged because they said it sounded too much like AI. I had to simplify some parts to avoid the flag. It's crazy how academic writing can be misinterpreted.
I’ve played around with detectors using text from my mentor's books, and they frequently flagged it as AI-written! It’s interesting how they might detect similar structure and tone rather than genuine AI output.
CopyLeaks seems to be one of the best AI detectors out there, with a lot of universities using it. However, while they consider AI use similar to plagiarism, enforcing it isn't that straightforward. Usually, professors just ask students to explain their work.
Most AI detectors can flag raw AI-generated content fairly well, but they struggle with texts that have been tweaked a bit. If you modify the output just enough, it can easily blend in with quality human writing.
