Okay, let's get straight to the point: will text pol­ished by AI be flagged by pla­gia­rism detec­tion sys­tems? It's a case-by-case sit­u­a­tion; there's no defin­i­tive answer.

Why? Let's break it down.

Pla­gia­rism detec­tion soft­ware, in essence, works like search­ing for a nee­dle in a haystack. They scan a mas­sive data­base for para­graphs and sen­tences sim­i­lar to those in your paper. Even if you use an AI edit­ing tool to rephrase and restruc­ture your text, the core, the soul of your paper – the main points and con­tent – has it changed? Most like­ly, no.

So, if your orig­i­nal text con­tains con­tent that "match­es" some­thing already exist­ing in the pla­gia­rism checker's "wardrobe," then even after being "trimmed" by the "scis­sors" of AI edit­ing, it's still pos­si­ble to be iden­ti­fied. It's like chang­ing your jack­et, but the T‑shirt under­neath is still the same; a clos­er look reveals the con­nec­tion.

Of course, pla­gia­rism detec­tion sys­tems aren't infal­li­ble; they can have "poor eye­sight" some­times. The results are influ­enced by many fac­tors, includ­ing:

The Sen­si­tiv­i­ty of the Detec­tion Sys­tem: Some sys­tems are high­ly sen­si­tive, flag­ging even minor sim­i­lar­i­ties; oth­ers are more lenient.

Data­base Update Speed: If your paper ref­er­ences very recent mate­ri­als that haven't been updat­ed in the detec­tion system's data­base, you might slip through.

There­fore, using AI edit­ing doesn't guar­an­tee detec­tion, but you absolute­ly shouldn't be care­less.

Fur­ther­more, the qual­i­ty of AI edit­ing tools varies great­ly. Some sim­ply play word games, replac­ing "beau­ti­ful" with "pret­ty" or "good-look­ing." Pla­gia­rism check­ers can eas­i­ly see through this lev­el of mod­i­fi­ca­tion.

But some more advanced tools, like AJE's AI edit­ing ser­vices, are more sophis­ti­cat­ed. They not only cor­rect gram­mat­i­cal errors but also opti­mize expres­sion and word choice, mak­ing your writ­ing more native-sound­ing and pro­fes­sion­al. Such tools can help your man­u­script avoid rejec­tion due to lan­guage qual­i­ty issues, allow­ing the research qual­i­ty to be the pri­ma­ry eval­u­a­tion cri­te­ri­on.

So, choos­ing a reli­able AI edit­ing tool is cru­cial to avoid pla­gia­rism detec­tion. Don't just go for the cheap­est option; you might be pen­ny-wise and pound-fool­ish.

How­ev­er, even with a top-tier AI edit­ing tool, can you be com­plete­ly wor­ry-free? Absolute­ly not!

AI is just a tool; it can enhance your work, but it can't cre­ate orig­i­nal con­tent out of thin air. The most cru­cial point is to ensure the orig­i­nal­i­ty and aca­d­e­m­ic integri­ty of your paper. Nev­er con­sid­er copy­ing or pla­gia­riz­ing; it's a major taboo in acad­e­mia and should nev­er be touched.

Take every paper seri­ous­ly; don't try to take short­cuts.

Con­sult a wide range of sources, think from dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives, and devel­op your own unique insights.

Care­ful­ly record your ref­er­ences to avoid unin­ten­tion­al pla­gia­rism.

Use rep­utable pla­gia­rism detec­tion sys­tems to check your work and prompt­ly iden­ti­fy and revise any dupli­cate con­tent.

In essence, using AI edit­ing is like apply­ing make­up. Done well, it can make you radi­ant; but if the foun­da­tion is poor or it's over­done, it can back­fire.

So, my advice is:

Choose AI edit­ing tools care­ful­ly: Don't just believe the adver­tise­ments; look at the actu­al results. Try sev­er­al options to find the best fit.

Don't rely sole­ly on AI: Man­u­al proof­read­ing and edit­ing are essen­tial. No mat­ter how intel­li­gent, AI can't match the flex­i­bil­i­ty and nuanced under­stand­ing of the human brain.

Focus on core ideas and key data: Check if they are too sim­i­lar to the orig­i­nal text.

Use your own words: Don't just copy and paste the AI's rewrites.

Con­sult diverse sources: Avoid rely­ing too heav­i­ly on a sin­gle source of infor­ma­tion.

In con­clu­sion, whether AI-edit­ed text will be detect­ed by pla­gia­rism sys­tems is a com­plex issue involv­ing tool selec­tion, usage meth­ods, and your own aca­d­e­m­ic integri­ty.

To avoid being "caught" by pla­gia­rism check­ers, con­sid­er all fac­tors. Lever­age AI's pow­er while also exer­cis­ing your own ini­tia­tive. A two-pronged approach is the best way to ensure the qual­i­ty and orig­i­nal­i­ty of your paper.

Remem­ber: AI is an assis­tant; orig­i­nal­i­ty is king!

I hope these sug­ges­tions are help­ful. I wish you all the best in pass­ing pla­gia­rism checks and get­ting your papers pub­lished soon! Good luck!
