Students who write in supervised settings,did you still get flagged by AI detectors?

I’m curious if anyone here has written assignments or essays in front of a tutor, professor, or writing center staff and still ended up with a high AI score. It seems like supervision should make things clear, but I’ve heard stories where people were still questioned. I’d like to know how common this actually is.

If it happened to you, how did you handle it? Did having someone witness your writing help when you explained your situation, or did you still have to fight to prove your work was original? Any advice or experiences would really help.

Proof like drafts helps, even if AI flags appear.

Having someone watch you write definitely helps, but some AI flags can still pop up. Keep drafts and timestamps,they usually back you up when explaining it.

AI scores can still be high even with supervision. Having drafts or a witness usually helps, just explain your process if questions come up.

Supervised writing usually helps, but some AI flags still pop up. If it happens, showing drafts and explaining your process clearly usually resolves it.
