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?


No. There is nothing you can do. AI detection is bullshit and there is no way to game it to reduce how much it determines you to be an AI. Your school is punishing you for it existing, and thus they remove the punishment for those using it.
