Quillbot paraphrased and rephrased human writing versus Turnitin AI detection
TLDRIn this video, the creator tests whether Turnitin will identify paraphrased writing as AI-generated using Quillbot. The experiment involves paraphrasing three texts - a scholarly article, a student's paper, and an article by a non-native English speaker - and then submitting them to Turnitin for analysis. Despite extensive paraphrasing, Turnitin does not detect any AI content in the paraphrased texts. The video demonstrates that Quillbot's paraphrasing capabilities can successfully alter the original text without being flagged by plagiarism detection software.
Takeaways
- 😀 The video conducts an experiment to see if Turnitin flags paraphrased content as AI-generated when using QuillBot.
- 📝 The experiment involves paraphrasing both academic and non-academic texts with over 2000 words each.
- 🤖 No AI-generated content was detected by Turnitin in the paraphrased documents, indicating QuillBot's outputs are not flagged.
- 🔍 Three different texts were tested: a published scholarly article, a student's paper, and a paper written by a non-native English speaker.
- 🛠 QuillBot was used to paraphrase the texts, focusing on fluency and converting them to UK English.
- ✅ The original texts, which were not paraphrased, showed a 0% AI detection rate in Turnitin, as expected.
- 🔄 One of the texts was not only paraphrased but also rephrased to see if more extensive modifications would trigger AI detection.
- 📊 Results after paraphrasing and rephrasing showed that Turnitin still did not identify any AI-generated content.
- 👀 This experiment suggests that QuillBot's paraphrasing tool is effective in modifying texts without being flagged as AI by Turnitin.
- 🎓 The video aims to provide clarity on the effectiveness of AI paraphrasing tools in academic settings and their detectability by plagiarism detection software.
Q & A
What is the purpose of the test conducted in the video?
-The test is conducted to determine whether Turnitin classifies paraphrased writing, which has been altered using QuillBot, as AI-generated content.
What tools were used in the video to paraphrase the texts?
-QuillBot was used to paraphrase the texts. The settings adjusted during paraphrasing included choosing 'fluency' and setting the language to UK English.
What types of documents were used in the test?
-Three types of documents were used: a scholarly article published in a journal, a student-derived paper from years ago, and another article written by a non-native English speaker.
How many words were in each of the documents used for the test?
-Each of the documents used in the test was well over 2,000 words.
Did Turnitin identify any of the paraphrased texts as AI-generated?
-No, Turnitin did not identify any of the paraphrased texts as AI-generated. All the paraphrased versions showed an AI detection percentage of zero.
Was there any significant difference in the word count after paraphrasing the texts?
-Yes, after paraphrasing, the word count of the texts was reduced to almost 2,000 words, indicating a reduction in length due to paraphrasing.
What additional modification was tested apart from paraphrasing?
-Apart from paraphrasing, the video also tested rephrasing one of the documents to see if there would be a difference in how Turnitin detected AI content.
What was the result of paraphrasing and rephrasing in terms of AI detection by Turnitin?
-Even with both paraphrasing and rephrasing, Turnitin did not detect any AI-generated content in the documents.
Why did the presenter choose to use QuillBot for this experiment?
-QuillBot was likely chosen for its ability to extensively alter the phrasing of texts while maintaining the fluency and integrity of the original meaning, which makes it a relevant tool for testing Turnitin's AI detection capabilities.
What implications does this experiment have for academic integrity?
-The experiment highlights the challenges in detecting AI-assisted paraphrasing in academic submissions, suggesting that current tools like Turnitin might need further development to catch such modifications, thereby impacting discussions on academic integrity.
Outlines
🔍 Testing Turnitin's AI Detection with Quillbot Paraphrasing
The video aims to test whether Turnitin, an academic plagiarism detection software, can identify content paraphrased using Quillbot as AI-generated. The experiment involves taking original texts, including a scholarly article, a student's paper, and an article by a non-native English speaker, and paraphrasing them with Quillbot. The settings used for paraphrasing include fluency and UK English. The paraphrased texts are then submitted to Turnitin to see if they are classified as AI-derived. The video also includes a demonstration of the paraphrasing process and the results from Turnitin, which show no AI content detected even after extensive paraphrasing and rephrasing.
