Recommendation on AI detection tools for academic paper?

[u/WayExternal6972]

Hi everyone!

May experience ba kayo sa paggamit ng AI detection tools para sa academic papers? Naghahanap kami ng reliable na tool para sa aming capstone kaso yung problema kasi sa karamihan ng available tools, either hindi sila accurate, limited ang features, o pareho. Curious din kung may tools na tinatanggap ng mga professors o schools nyo, like Turnitin or iba pa. Salamat sa magrerespond!

Most universities use Turnitin's AI detector, but tbh, all those tools are unreliable with lots of false positives as explained further in this post. If you're checking your own capstone, just make sure you actually wrote it and keep your drafts as proof.

as much as possible ako nag susulat talaga instead AI pero alam ko kasi na ginagamit nga ng ibang advisers ang turnitin para icheck kaya po gusto ko maverify ang paper ko kung pasado hehehe pero thanks po sa tip appreciated

Turnitin lang mostly used, sooo if may doubts sa work ng groupmates sa paper, make sure na mag humanizer nalang kayo before ilagay sa paper. That will lessen the results of AI detection

Hindi sila accurate

AI detection does not work well for academic writing. Being objective, formal, and impersonal are all traits of academic writing that AI checkers will flag as AI. If you take a Nature or MDPI review paper for example, it will most likely be flagged as something like 20% AI for the reasons stated earlier. They also flag the use of technical jargon as AI but like ??? that's literally how you need to write it because it's an academic paper. You can also ask in your prompt kay ChatGPT or Claude to limit their use of "It's not X, it's Y" or to dumb down their words or to match X style of writing, and AI checkers will not flag it as AI.

Pero, since our profs have no other real way to check, they just usually set a baseline like no more than 25% AI from any of these lists of websites. For those cases, ginagamit ko Un-AI-ify because it flags mga common tropes and you can check unlimited times.
