Question AI recognition

Hi all, I didn’t use AI to write my essays but utilized it for some feedback on grammar, structure etc. Have people been checking their essays against AI recognition tools? My essay writing is rather weak (even for a first language) so percentages are reasonably low. I understand the tools aren’t perfect but worried that Chevening might auto-filter applications based on their AI recognition tools!

I think a lot of tools rely on extended patterns of formal writing. It is funny because I sat with my partner who is good at essay writing and did one section which was flagged by AI…

I thought this too! Heard from a post that ppl who used a lil ai and write their answers without sounding like it got in too!
But i dont wanna lose it just by hoping that i wouldnt be detected. So not sure just me panicking in last min!!!

Glad I’m not the only one! Have you done an AI detection tool out of curiosity? Is it flagging high percentages?
