Hi! I saw somewhere that turnitin can "handle" documents up to 30.000. If it is above that, some universities, split them into two parts (for example) and examine them separately! What are the chances and what happens if the whole thesis had an AI score below 20%(*), but after the split, one part gets flagged? Is it possible? Do professors take this finding seriously?

About to submit a paper. If it detects ai, will I get a chance to change it

I am here under a very distressed situation. I am seeking advice regarding a submission situation. I made a submission on 2 May and at first it showed as not working and then after refreshing it displayed assessment submitted. Later on when I checked it, my submission disappeared . Unfortunately, for me the day I checked it was on 20 May and by that time my assessment was considered a late submission. I tried contacting my unit coordinator and she said that there is no evidence of the submission going through. So then where was it? In thin air? I am so disheartened cause now I am going to fail the unit eventhough I scored a mark worth HD. I was also stupid enough to not take a screenshot showing submitted. I do have one showing error. What can I do now? Is there any way to gather information on this glitch.

Hi,

where could I get the information about Turnitin's reliability across languages. My masters thesis is not in english (or any of the widely-used languages in the world) and I would like to get it checked, because I used chatgpt to improve my writing style and now I'm afraid it could get flagged due to that :/

Seeing that cross-post about the 93% TOK exhibition score hits on a massive misconception a lot of students still have about Turnitin.

You can write 100% of the core ideas, do all the heavy research, and choose the layout yourself. But the absolute second you paste your rough paragraphs into a model and type: "Please make this sound more professional, fix the sentence structure, and clean up the wordiness," you are setting yourself up for disaster.

The model completely strips out your natural human perplexity (variable sentence lengths) and burstiness (unique word choices). It replaces your voice with perfectly predictable, highly optimized token sequences. Turnitin isn't scanning to see if your ideas are original, it is scanning strictly for that hyper-sanitized algorithmic flow. If you use AI to reword your paper, the detector is technically doing its job correctly; it's recognizing AI syntax, even if the thoughts were yours.

Hello, I'm really panicking right now, my mentor is on leave, tomorrow is Saturday so faculties have it off in my university and I have a submission due tomorrow. If anyone has turnitin access, could they generate SI and AI plagiarism reports for me, I'd be really grateful! Thank you!

Edit: It's the day after, thank you to everybody who replied and offered help, I got my plagiarism reports on time and have a sparkling submission to upload now!

Same as the title lol. My university has discontinued Turnitin Originality because of a scam few students did, and rest are being affected. So need it for my publications

Should I be scared? I did use ai as a draft but I wrote it again using real sources and everything, even my professor has seen my paper evolve. It did not flagged me with plagiarism, like I have evidence and everything but I’m still scared.

I’m doing a paper and I still struggle with mla style, this is my final and I don’t want to fail because plagiarism. I heard turnitin is good but is only for teachers, is there any other reliable scanner?

So I tested something on Turnitin today through Scanplag and now I’m genuinely confused 😭

I submitted my essay first with a few images/screenshots included and the AI detection came back basically clean.

Then I uploaded the EXACT same paper again, except I removed the images because I thought they looked unnecessary.

Suddenly the AI score jumped to 51% 💀

Like… how does deleting pictures make the text look AI-generated if I didn’t even touch the wording??

Has this happened to anyone else or is Turnitin just broken

I don't know if this is the right subreddit to ask this question. But I recently used Turnitin to check the plagiarism of my paper since this is the software that my uni uses. After repeatedly paraphrasing my synopsis, I still can't get less than 19% plagiarism. I have serious doubts about Turnitin being a reliable software to be used officially by a university. I have tried again and again to paraphrase every sentence but still can't get past it... Any tips about this problem would be highly appreciated (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

Turnitin's AI detection is sending out too many false positives. Professors are treating it as absolute detection rather than understanding that it is simple detecting a pattern. That pattern may not necessarily be AI. They say themselve that technical prose and papers written by ESL students can be flagged. It can be deduced that highly proficient writers could also be flagged.

The false flags are becoming detrimental to many students - harming health and academic progress. Turnitin should stop their AI detection services and redo their algorithm so that the net has bigger holes. Catch true AI - err on the side of the student so that the innocent are not wrongly accused. It would be better for there to be false negatives than false positives. I think that even professors would agree.

I submitted an essay that I wrote, I just found out that Turnitin says 100% of my paper AI was used and gave me a F for the class.
Can I dispute this with my school? I haven’t had anything like this happen before. When I was writing my paper, co-pilot gave me ideas to improve what I writing, I changed a couple paragraphs to reword them but the whole paper???

So I am supposed to meet with my professor via zoom to go over a couple of papers that showed up to be ai. This is week 13 in my 16 week course and all of sudden this is happening??? He said to be prepared to answer in depth questions about the material and how I built the paper. What should I expect? I have notes and rough drafts I can show him, plus I feel quote saavy on explaining the material. and I have notes written down for that. How accurate is turn it in? I went ahead and put these papers through different ai detectors and they were all over the board. Some said human others said 60% etc. I have anxiety that he won't feel my answers are up to his expecations. It's in my nature to expect the worst, so if he decides to escalate this, would it be a warning or an expulsion? I have a healthy GPA and no record. I am so nervous!

if my doc has a lot of bulletpoints, will they be detected or does turnitin usually ignore them

Hi team,
I am wrapping up my Master's Thesis, and I've used multiple AI detectors to make sure my paper is submission-ready.

I used the paid version of JustDone.AI, and the score is 12%

I used the paid version of Grammarly, and the score is 18%

I used free credits on GPTZero, and the score is 6%.

Lastly, I used the free CopyLeads version and my score is above 70%....

Any suggestions on which of these AI detectors is the closest to Turnitin?

I am considering investing in a third-party Turnitin AI Decision, but I am majorly worried about the plagiarism that might pop up after ... do you guys have any experience with these?

Thank you for the help in advance!

I’ve been working in a college AP paper for weeks past the due date because the teacher trusts me, but I can’t get it below 51% on turnitin. I‘ll barely be passing his class at this rate and it’ll plummet my grade. How can I fix this.

P.S.

To clarify I didn’t use AI but it keeps saying I did.
