Help · false AI flags

Flagged as AI — but you wrote it?

It happens more often than you’d think — especially to students writing in a second language. Here’s what to do next, calmly, step by step.

When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months.

First: you’re not the only one

AI detectors make mistakes. In a Stanford study, seven popular detectors labelled 61% of essays by non-native English speakers as AI-generated on average — while they were almost always right about essays by US eighth-graders. Turnitin’s own guide says its AI score can be wrong and shouldn’t be the only basis for action against a student.

What to do, step by step

  1. Don’t panic — and don’t rewrite it in a rush. Changing the work now can make it harder to show how you wrote it.
  2. Ask what exactly was flagged. Which tool, which sentences, what score — and what your college’s policy says about AI checks.
  3. Gather proof that it’s yours. Version history in Google Docs or Word, your notes and outline, earlier drafts, the sources you read, photos of handwritten notes.
  4. Offer to talk it through. Explaining your argument, your sources and how you wrote it is often the clearest proof. If your college has a review or a viva, ask for one.
  5. See which sentences triggered it. Check your text with Redrafty: you’ll see which sentences read like AI and why — often stock phrases from essay templates. That helps you explain, and helps you write the next one in a voice that’s clearly yours.

A message you can send your teacher

Dear [teacher’s name],

I saw that my assignment “[title]” was flagged as possibly AI-written. I wrote it myself, and I’d like to show you how: I have [my Google Docs version history / my notes and drafts / the sources I used].

Could we meet briefly so I can walk you through it?

Thank you,
[your name]

Next time: make your writing unmistakably yours

  • Write in Google Docs or Word with version history on.
  • Use your own examples — your city, your class, your data.
  • Skip template phrases: “In today’s fast-paced world”, “plays a crucial role”, “not just… but…”.
  • Check before you submit — and keep your drafts.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Can an AI detector prove I used AI?
No. Every detector gives a likelihood, not proof — Turnitin says the same about its own score. That’s why your drafts and your explanation matter.
Why was my own writing flagged?
Detectors look for predictable patterns: very even sentences, stock phrases, neat lists of three, tidy conclusions. Formal writing, templates — and writing in a second language — can look like that.
Will Redrafty flag my writing too?
It’s built not to accuse real writers: in our tests, 464 of 464 human-written texts in 12 languages scored under 20% — 240 of them English texts by people in India. No detector is perfect, so treat any score as a guide.
Can Redrafty give me a certificate that I wrote it?
No — and be careful with anyone who offers one. No checker can prove who wrote a text. Your drafts, notes and version history are the real proof.
Is it free?
Yes, to start: try one check right here — up to 500 words, no sign-up — and your first check in Telegram is free too: your welcome gift covers over 1,000 words. After that, packs from about $1. No subscription.
How accurate is it?
In our tests before launch, 464 of 464 human-written texts in 12 languages scored under 20% — none were wrongly flagged — and most AI-written texts scored 60% or more. No detector is perfect, so treat your score as a guide, not a verdict.
Is it the same as Turnitin?
No. Redrafty isn’t connected to Turnitin or your college, and scores can differ. What you get is the “why” — the exact sentences to look at.
Is my text private?
Yes. On this page your text is checked and thrown away — never saved. In Telegram, it’s deleted within 24 hours. It’s never used to train AI. See our Privacy Policy.
Will I be charged again automatically?
No. There's no subscription: you buy a pack once with Telegram Stars, and nothing renews. Unused credits don't expire.
Can I share it with my study group?
Yes — invite friends from the Redrafty app: they start with a bigger welcome gift, and you get credits each time they top up.
