What SI detection can and cannot do in schools and universities. These articles look at the tools teachers actually meet, such as Turnitin, at what vendors say about their own accuracy and false positives, and at fair ways to handle a high score, for students and for teachers alike. We never give advice on how to beat a detector. To see how style-based detection reads a piece of writing, paste a text into our SI text detector and read the clues behind the score.
Turnitin can flag likely SI (AI) writing, including paraphrased text, but its own documentation says the score is not proof. Here is what it detects, how to read the 20% asterisk, and what to do about false positives.
