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?


Is this actual policy or are you just trying to make sure your AI usage can’t be detected?
Because there is no reliable way to detect AI usage except for obvious styling, prompt traps, and just matching your comprehension with the material (grades on assignments vs closed notes test).
I’ve never heard of any university using such a system and would bring this up to administration with other students if they ever used such an unreliable grading method.
