Neurodivergent Students have a reason to invest in AI Rewriters – Survival
Sometimes, these blogs become repetitive, but we also know that repetition drives home the point. Recently, Bloomberg News reported a new story about a neurodivergent student falsely accused of using AI to write simple summaries of news articles. The student, who is on the autism spectrum, writes in the same formulaic manner as AI. Ultimately, the student was vindicated, and her grade changed, but the teacher warned her that if she were ever flagged again, she wouldn’t be held to the school’s plagiarism policy.
False Flags Punish Neurodivergent Students Seeking Education in the AI Era
What we find saddest about the whole story is how much trouble the student went to for her education, but despite proving her innocence, she is still being treated like a criminal. Worse yet, the radio broadcast of the story added a detail we found particularly galling. The detector flagged the student at 100% AI use. Any detector that flags at 100 is unreliable. We make this very clear ourselves.
Fortunately, she is smart and takes the steps we advise to protect herself. She works in Google Sheets and time stamps her progress through Google Docs. She invested in an AI Detector and pre-checks her work before submission.
AI Detectors have the potential to Impact the Most Vulnerable Students
Neurodivergence is only just being understood. Until recently, neurodivergence was classified as an abnormality. Advocates and health professionals are reassessing this definition. Neurodivergent students simply “think, learn, and process information differently than others.” They often have diagnoses of being on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and dyslexia. Neurodivergent learners may be more susceptible to false flags of using AI because the schools’ detectors are flawed.
Why AI Detector Pro is different
Have you ever run a report through our AI Detector and tried to get the score down through simple rewrites? We never score at 100. The highest probability score we deliver is 98. However, if you try to edit an AI-generated piece of content, you are unlikely to get it down to 2, our lowest score. We made our detector very difficult because academic detectors have begun to address simple rewrites. Our technology team has increased the difficulty of the detector. At the same time, we work on the rewriter on a daily basis.
So, what do we recommend for the ethical use of AI? We recommend that you follow the research and citation principles your professor requires. If they tell you not to touch AI. Don’t touch it. If you are required to cite AI, use the citation methodology they want you to use. If you have the right to use generative AI for a portion of your paper, by all means, use it. But use AI Detector Pro, whether or not you’re a neurodivergent student. You can edit the AI Rewriter portion in your own voice if you like. We recommend adding your own style after the AI Rewriter removes any logarithmic stamps of AI use.
Always use the rewriter on any portion of your paper that IS AI. Every one of our plans provides you a very high number of reports, so you don’t need to be stingy. Also, we bundle the rewrites and the detections, so you don’t have to worry about using up one or the other. Use the rewriter as much as you need. There’s a very low probability that you can beat our detector with manual rewrites. We made it that way so you don’t have to suffer the same difficulties as this story. Every student, neurodivergent or not, deserves a fair chance at their education.
