Page 2: AI Writing Overview
- 51% detected as AI. The share of qualifying prose Turnitin considers likely AI-generated.
- "Caution: Review required." Turnitin's prompt that the score needs human judgement.
- Detection groups. 26 segments "AI-generated only" (51%), and 0 segments "AI-generated text that was AI-paraphrased" (0%).
- Disclaimer. The model may produce false positives or negatives and "should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student."
- FAQs. Explains false positives, the asterisk for scores under 20%, and what counts as qualifying text.
Page 3 onward: highlighted text
The paper is reproduced in full. Flagged sentences are highlighted in cyan; any AI-paraphrased text would be purple. In this example the first flag falls on a generic purpose statement in the introduction: "the report will make recommendations on practical marketing plans that are congruent with the changing consumer value and regulatory environment." Sentences like this, broad and evenly phrased, are typical triggers.
What this example teaches
- Low similarity does not protect you. 1% similarity, 51% AI.
- Flags cluster in generic passages. Introductions, purpose statements and summaries are flagged more than specific analysis.
- No sources are listed. Unlike the similarity report, the AI report never links text to a source.
- The number needs context. Turnitin itself tells instructors to review before acting.
