ai checker for law ps?

I've basically completed my law personal statement, and written 100% of it completely myself, but also used grammarly and other word check suggestions to refine it. However, I've put it in multiple AI checkers just in case and it's showing about 50-60% of it being AI. I'm not sure if this is because of my use of grammarly or similar platforms but will this be shown to universities in my application or is UCAS unlikely to actually flag it?

50-60% is quite high however if you are confident you have written it yourself then it is fine. I do wonder why you are AI checking it if you have done it yourself though (no offence at all) AI checkers however are quite unreliable. I think you are just overthinking it! Good luck with your application.

i checked mine as well and it flagged up as 40% ai written but its all original. i sent my ucas off and i have received offers so all is well - just send it off regardless, ai checkers are notoriously inaccurate.

This seems to be a trend now....

Some of these 'plagiarism/AI checkers' are very dodgy and can have questionable sounding privacy policies at best. By running it through, you don't know where it could end up now... It could be used to train the model, but whoever is running the site might also be able to just take the PS, edit it and give it to somebody else (unlikely but still a very real possibility).

People reading this in the future: if you know the work is your own, please don't be tempted to run it through.
