When I was in college, our professor had (university policy) to use Turn It In Dot Com, and every semester at the beginning she would warn people about why she did not adhere to the policy that, "If you come back yellow, orange, or red, I have to flunk you- I won't, if you are yellow or orange, I'll let you know and let you touch up your paper, if it's red, you will need to come to my office for a discussion". Yellow was "slightly plagiarized", Orange was "very plagiarized", and Red was, "You basically copy and pasted someone else's work". But here were her reasons:
>A student her first year of using the website, had his paper come back Red. When our teacher investigated, it turned out that the student had enjoyed the research he did on the subject so well, he ended up writing several Wikipedia articles about the subject. He wrote the Wiki articles AFTER writing the paper, yet the website still flagged his paper as nearly 100% plagiarized on something his paper predated in existence.
>She had another student who got flagged as Orange. When she got to looking, the portions that were flagged were the footnoted, works cited quotes from the books the students were REQUIRED TO QUOTE in the paper. Literally, in the rules for the assignment, you had to quote at least 4 of the 10 possible books the teacher assigned and at least 2 other books of your own researching, plus quote at least 3 journals/articles on the subject. Because the student followed the rules, the website flagged them as having a lot of plagierization, because the website could not recognize where people had put quote marks and had citations.
>This teacher taught a class on Italian City States, another on the Renaissance & Reformation, a class on Italian Cathedrals/architecture, and a fourth class on the Catholic Church/The Vatican. As such, she often had students who took all of her classes, and she used some of the same books across all of her classes. So, she had one set of students who the website flagged them for plagiarizing their own papers they wrote the previous semester, because they quoted the same books, they had the same opinions of those books, etc. This meant she had half the class one semester, come back orange or red, and when she looked, it was because they wrote papers too close to papers they had already written, combined with the quoting-issues.
I don't trust A.I. detecting websites to do any better, and that's before we get into how they are actively FEEDING A.I.
Do not feed the trolls, people. A.I. are evil trolls, don't feed them, let them starve.
