The FREE Plagiarism Detector Your University Hates! (I Tested 5)

[@victoriab8186]

What discipline you are writing for can massively impact the ‘similarity rating’ you might expect for a legitimate essay. These systems do not usually check if you have cited things correctly, they check what things exist that ought to have been cited. Plus they will often detect all your citations as ‘similar’ to other texts, because other people have also cited the same thing.

I find the issue nowadays is more for AI rather than plagiarism

[@ShaareiZoharDaas]

You can cite AI so only a stupid person would risk it.

[@professordianaskole]

AI **is** plagiarism. It collects from blogs, articles, online magazines-journals-news articles, and doesn’t cite any of them, but quotes them word for word. AI art is also plagiarism.

[@semperbauhaus]

@@professordianaskole I ran an AI article through these checkers and got a 0% score, so you are incorrect. You need to use the correct prompts.

Have you talked about obsidian yet? Great app to use for general note-taking in various different fields.

[@simply_konrad]

please test genAI detectors! in my experience they usually do not work well (it's enough that you correct grammar on human-written text and it shows as 100% AI generated)

[@ruhabfarooqui5987]

I have a question. Using free online plagiarism checkers or AI detectors to remove AI content or reduce similarity in a document still lead to a high similarity index or AI detection percentage when submitting the document to Turnitin? I am asking this question because I don't have access to Turnitin so I can't verify this. Please if anybody can answer my question, it will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

[@FoxOkinawa]

Is it true that the platform (whichever one you upload for checking) stores your upload (work), and you will find that it detects your future upload as plagiarism or AI generated? And through stored training data, some AI platform shares users' upload with other users' queries, and somehow all these "work" becomes "plagiarized"? 🤔

[@benjaminwetscher9614]

Heard the same. If you run your upload through the checker, it includes the work in its database. So you might get flagged once you rerun, even on other platforms as they share information and/or databases

[@jigmesherab9052]

@@benjaminwetscher9614 Exactly! This occurs and results in a 100% similarity, which can make you obsess excessively, even if you haven't plagiarized.

Could you try to compare the results with University most prefered, Turnitin😂

[@professordianaskole]

It’s illegal in Australia. They caught TurnItIn using students’ papers as examples on their website, without getting permission, so their government sued the company, won, and then banned the entire company.

[@anshumansahu1087]

What is the difference between similarity and plagiarism?

Kindly make videos for AI plagiarism paraphrasers with unlimited words

[@leondbleondb]

They are basically useless.

[@reversetransistor4129]

It destroys the university it self, even if you aren't you are going to pay for your colleges, does it worth to study, if you don't have connection to work after your degree, yes, else doesn't worth it.

[@littlebrit]

Put a random bits into search engine, save your money. It is that simple. Harder to detect when paper is rewritten completely. Then I go into manual mode. I wonder if any AI help in that area.

Academia may also use plagiarism to pull researchers down.

[@professordianaskole]

It’s a career ending move. A lawyer used ChatGPT last year to find 2 precedents for the case he was working on (don’t know why he didn’t use WestLaw; we’re all taught how in law school and it doesn’t take more than 15 minutes) . . . Put them in his filing without checking them. Turns out they didn’t exist (ChatGPT makes up answers if it can’t find it), and the judge sanctioned him (fines and a warning). His law firm found out and fired him. His Bar Association found out and yanked his license. Then the female president of Harvard got caught plagiarizing and got fired. Don’t do it.

[@kumardigvijaymishra5945]

@@professordianaskole Most LLMs hallucinate and create fake references, and they are easily caught by plagiarism detectors. There are ethical issues with AI in academia. However ChatGPT is great in maintaining a stream of thoughtful discussion that can't be performed by professors, and advisors because it's human to be forgetful, while AI models retain memory for as long as there is going to be human civilization on this planet. Sometimes cheating with AI models is just another way of learning new ways to do the old things.

[@professordianaskole]

@@kumardigvijaymishra5945 Appreciate your comment! It brought up some horrific scenarios to me, that I don’t think should ever happen in academia. To begin, ChatGPT writes at a 5th grade level, which isn’t appropriate for higher education at all. Grammarly’s AI works better and is more at upper high school level. And as to “maintaining a stream of thoughtful discussion that can’t be performed by professors,” any professor who can’t do that has no business being in higher education. I not only model extensive note taking to my students during class while I’m giving a lecture, but I also include some of their comments and insights in later presentations. I had one student last winter who actively worked in treaty advocacy and compliance in Canada already, and I absolutely made extensive notes of her thoughtful discussions. Additionally, I make a PowerPoint that is uploaded to Canvas for them to go back and look at, and I make a whole separate lecture on it, recorded in Zoom, that I upload to my Arizona State University account (not this one), as an unlisted video, so they can go back and refresh their memories as needed. And lastly, anything I present to them is as fully referenced as if I were getting published in it, and they have all the links to the literature that I’ve found that supports what I’m saying. No AI can do that. Every professor should. Anyone who’s gone into higher ed just to hear their own selves talk needs to leave academia immediately.

​@@professordianaskole Nice reality

[@professordianaskole]

@@funpoint2002 It’s def not my reality. It is very real, though. And I do get it, for the most part. Our writing is like our baby. We put our heart and soul into it, making sure we use not just the words from our heart, but also ones that the reader can connect with on a deeper theoretical level. Plagiarism is like stealing someone’s baby, is how I had it explained to me (in professional development). And what we write is absolutely our reputation, not just our intellectual property. In the end, plagiarism is just sloppy, lazy work. It’s really not that hard to get your citations correct. Those who don’t like doing it should probably stick to fiction writing.
