AI report

I wrote a text 100% by myself. However, the Turnitin report is showing  AI of (*9%), and the text in which it is highlighted is 100% my own text. Why is it so? May someone guide me, please?

 

"*9% of qualifying text in this submission has been determined to be generated by AI. * Low scores have a higher likelihood of false positives."

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Dr. Muhammad Mumtaz
     

    If you find AI written documents that we've missed, or notice authentic student work that we've predicted as AI-generated, please let us know! Your feedback is crucial in enabling us to improve our technology further. You can provide feedback via the ‘feedback’ button found in the AI writing report.

    Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated.

    In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

    In shorter documents where there are only a few hundred words, the prediction will be mostly "all or nothing" because we're predicting on a single segment without the opportunity to overlap. This means that some text that is a mix of AI-generated and original content could be flagged as entirely AI-generated.

    Please consider these points as you are reviewing the data and following up with students or others.

    The above information was taken from our FAQs, and I hope it answers your question!

      Karen Smith Thanks. My AI is not even being shown in my Turnitin account (task bars). Is this deactivated or what? Is this only with me or other accounts are having the same? Thanks

      Dr. Muhammad Mumtaz 

      We made the decision to provide free access to our AI detection capabilities during the preview phase to support educators during an unprecedented time of rapid change. We received a significant amount of positive feedback from customers, and we acted on that feedback.

      The decision to move to a paid licensing structure beginning January 2024 was made to ensure that we can continue to provide high-quality AI writing detection features to our customers. This enables us to invest in further research and development and improve our infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

      This is also in-line with our overall product strategy wherein we will continue to develop new capabilities to meet the changing requirements of our customers and to ensure we keep pace with technological enhancements. Some of these new features will form part of our base offering such as the new Similarity Report, and will be included in the price of the license, while others will be considered as premium capabilities such as AI writing, and will be available at an additional cost.

      Communicating this change to customers
      We sent multiple emails to all Turnitin administrators informing them in advance of this upcoming change and asking them to further cascade this information to instructors and other users that AI writing will not be available to them from January 1, 2024. Emails were sent in Sept and Oct. We also deployed in-product notifications in Oct & Dec to alert users about the change.

      More information can be found in our help documents on this topic. Scroll down to the "Access & Licensing" section.
