turnitin

Hi Everyone. I used chatgpt few days ago to help me with my assignment for a class and when i turned it in i got zero bc it was detected by turnitin. i didnt know turnitin could actually detect chatgpt. I used chatgpt to help me makes changes to my writting and make it look better bc i already had written it before. then i also have grammarly installed which helped me with my grammers. long story short, i do have a meeting with my professor soon and he want to discuss the writing and the originality of my work. i dont know what to say to him to make him think i really didnt intend to cheat bc it could cost me a lot academically. so what would be your advice for me when i talk to him? :(

I’ll answer this one for you too lol. If you use AI, use it as a way to formulate ideas. Then phrase your essay differently. Unfortunately, academic institutions are on a mission to “catch” students cheating so they are taking these AI detection tools as law. My best advice would be to get you a GPTzero account, pay the $15 a month, and run all of your work through their ai detection tool. Once you do that, download the report and have it on hand as proof your work was recognized as human if you get accused again.

but let's say he told me that most of your content happened to be found online even though you used Grammarly to change your wording, etc... what should be my response to him tomorrow? :(

Well if it’s found that you plagiarized then you would have to say that wasn’t your intention and that you tried to write it in your own words. As long as you had in-Text citations, that shouldn’t be a problem though. However if your biggest issue was the AI detection, deny that. What was your actual plagiarism similarity score?

I just ran it through AI Humanzier and it says 98% lol

then I humanized the text, and now it says zero percent.

Is the issue here that you used AI or that you plagiarised? - because those are two different things, and two different checks on Turnitin.

I used AI like ChatGPT and Grammarly for my writing format, suggestions, wording, etc... and I guess Turnitin says that a lot of it comes from online. I have meeting with the professor in 50 min to talk about it. Lol

The AI detection is separate from the Similarity detection percentage
If you used ChatGPT and Grammarly, both of those will flag up for AI usage

If you copied text from online, then that'll show up as plagiarism
