for anyone here who got a false ai flag overturned - what worked?
been lurking here a while and it gets to me how many of you are in the same spot, you wrote the thing yourself, turnitin or gptzero slaps an "ai" score on it, and now you're defending work you did
for anyone who went through the appeal and came out ok, what worked for you? trying to figure out what's real advice vs noise for the people still stuck in it
stuff i keep seeing come up:
google docs version history (file - version history) showing the doc built up over days instead of one big paste
pointing at the detector's own false-positive rate instead of arguing "i didn't do it"
keeping the email to the prof calm and procedural, not panicked
what am i missing? and for the ones that got overturned, was it the evidence, the meeting, or the prof backing off once you pushed back?
