My university uses AI detectors when marking papers, and almost any result higher than 0% can cause lost grades. As anyone whose used one of these tools will know, they have an extremely high false positive rate, meaning that while I don’t use AI (and can’t, given the technical nature of the papers) I still lose marks. Is there any way to decrease the rate of false positives without completely destroying the structure and flow of a paper?


You could use something that automatically keeps track of revision history, like Google Docs. If your writing is flagged by their AI detectors, show them the full history.
There are extensions that will slowly input text and delete words to make it seem human typed.
Good idea!
