The Truth About AI Detection Tools and Turnitin's AI Feature

The Truth About AI Detection Tools and Turnitin's AI Feature

Hello everyone. Welcome back to this channel.

My Research Support. So friends, this video would really be very important if you are at all worried about checking your research documents against AI Score. This video will help you a lot.

Before we begin, let me tell you a reality. Only 10% to 20% of universities in the world are using AI detection technology to check plagiarism. These universities use different tools for this purpose. However, the percentage of universities using AI detection technology is even lower in India. This raises a big question.

In this video, we will discuss each and every step very clearly. Please watch this video without skipping any part.

Let us move towards the first part. You have to immediately stop using any AI detection tools. There are two main reasons for this.

Firstly, every AI detector tool has its own repository or database. To check our files, we have to either copy our data into the AI detection tool or upload our file into the database. After that, our documents will be showing under plagiarism and it will be impossible to remove them from the repository. This can waste our research articles.

Secondly, every AI detection tool has different capabilities and may show different scores. These results are also not very accurate. Therefore, we cannot rely on these results.

Hence, I am telling you to avoid using any AI detection tools unless your university suggests using a specific tool.

Now, let’s discuss the reality of Turnitin in the second part of this video. Turnitin’s AI feature was launched in April and many universities from the UK started using it. However, due to limitations and false positives, many universities have banned this feature.

Turnitin’s AI can only detect AI scores from prose type sentences or simple words. It cannot detect AI scores from bullets, noted bibliography, poetry scripts, etc. Additionally, Turnitin’s current AI is trained on GPT 3.5. GPT 4 is only available with a plus subscription. Therefore, GPT 3.5 is included in the free version. Turnitin’s AI algorithm needs to be upgraded as new GPT versions are released.

Turnitin has specific requirements for the files you submit. The file size should be less than 100mb and in Docx, pdf, txt, or rtf format. The file must be written in English and have a minimum of 300 words. The file must not exceed 15,000 words, which corresponds to approximately 15 to 20 pages. If the submitted document is longer than that, Turnitin won’t show any AI score. This is not practically feasible for long research papers or PhD theses.

Turnitin’s AI also has a false positive rate, meaning it may incorrectly flag human-written text as AI-generated. The false positive rate is between 1% to 20%. If your document shows a high AI score, it may not be correct. If your document shows a considerably high percentage, Turnitin claims that the tool is around 98% correct, but in reality, the situation is different. There have been cases of false positives, where students’ research documents were flagged by Turnitin’s AI even though they were written by the students themselves. Many universities have stopped using Turnitin’s AI due to these false positives.

In conclusion, you don’t need to worry about AI detection and can submit your files to universities or journals. However, blindly using AI tools or relying solely on Turnitin’s AI may not be the best approach. Use ChatGPT as a supporting tool and don’t be afraid of the AI score.
