The professor keeps flagging me for AI, should I involve the dean?

As the title reads, I have a literature prof giving me shit for using AI to write all my reading questions, and probably soon the essay I just did. It's been three months now, and for every assignment, I hardly get any feedback. In fact, if I do get feedback, it's her saying that she enjoys reading my responses, but it's flagging 100% AI, so she's gonna count points off. We've had one meeting where she told me to voice-to-text all of my thoughts while reading and then pull out what I need to answer the questions, and after we talked, she told me to be more personal, and maybe the AI score will change. So, I did that for the next assignment, and she gave me a 77 because she didn't like that I made it more personal, and because it also flagged 100% AI again. So I did the assignment one more time and did the same thing, but went back to my “analytical tone” as she loved to describe it, and I got a 90, but it's still 100% AI There have been 2 assignments since then, and they were both also flagged for 100% AI. I have done everything for this teacher. Turn off Grammarly, spell check, and auto-capitalization. I've used her writing method. I have done everything, and she just requested another meeting. I also think it's important to note that she can see my revision history in Google Docs, so she knows I'm typing everything, but that isn't enough for her. My parents and friends think I should involve the dean because she has been so uncooperative in telling me what I should fix, and instead just continues to accuse me of using AI. I have another meeting with her soon, and maybe it will help, but I doubt it. At this point, I'm honestly not sure why she doesn't make us handwrite and mail the pages to her, but idk.

Edit; only posting this here so I can share my story. This happened last semester and the dean was involved. The email I sent to the dean was more or less “ hey your teacher keeps accusing me of using AI. I am not using AI. Can we please have a meeting about this to bring attention to it.” And we had a meeting and he talked to the teacher, and I ended up with a B in the class. I will say the teacher was really passive aggressive towards me after that, and she did continue to accuse me of AI, but instead of telling me that I’m doing something wrong she just started admitting that the bot is wrong. I do believe they’re still an investigation going on, but I’m also not going to that institution anymore so they haven’t contacted me that I know of.
